Installing SQL server

  • Hi,

    Am having problem in installing SQL server DEV edition in windows 7.

    I could go through the complete installation but after the installation i realise that the SSMS is not installed. I tried to install multiple times but no use.

    can any one help me with this issue.

    Thanks,

    Rahul.

  • are you getting an error message? If so, please post it.

  • There's an option to install more than the 'Database Engine'. If I recall correctly, it's a checkbox for "Tools, Workstation and Documentation" (or something similar to this).

  • Correct, the option to install the tools has to be selected.

  • What Do you have in the Microsoft SQL Server Program Group?

  • You could also try and run 'sqlcmd' from a DOS prompt. IIRC, that executable only gets installed with the tools option.

  • AFAIK, ssms.exe is the SSMS executable. Can you search for that?

  • Did you ever have an earlier version of SQL Server on this machine?
