  • I believe you unchecked the client components while installation. You can re-run the installation & modify / update the existing instance.

    I am sure I checked everything...

    Do you know the command to see if I can run mgmt studio directly from start - run

  • That's why I provided the link. SSMS is part of Express Edition.

  • Please try ssms or ssms.exe on command prompt.

    i saw the link, when I click express edition and

    then to management tools...

    It doesn't show SSMS Ticked..

    I put it as an attachement.

  • I am sorry. I just overlooked it. As SSMS doesn’t appear in Express edition, there is no scope for argument on it.

    You may try SQL CMD instead.

  • There are several downloads for express edition. The basic one (first in the drop down box on this page: http://www.microsoft.com/betaexperience/pd/SQLEXP08V2/enus/) does not have management studio. It's just the database engine. To get management studio, you need to select the option that says 'with tools' or similar wording)

  • I think so, but I can never remember exactly what was in each of the download options (there were 3 or 4 at one point)
