Installation Confusion

  • Ok, i was having a problem installing SS2k5 Developers Edition on my computer. I was told to do a repair on the .NET Framework which i did and the error message i was getting stopped.

    Ok, so for the last few days i was trying to find query analyzer and learned that Enterprise Manager was no longer available in 2k5. But i still could not find Query Analyzer so i looked on line to see if i could find out where it is. I found that it is was in Microsoft SQL SERVER Management Studio (MSSMS). Yet i do NOT see Microsoft SQL SERVER Management Studio (MSSMS) on my computer.

    Under the MS SQL Server 2005, i have Configuration Tools, SQL Server 2005 Upgrade Advisor, Documentation and Tutorials.

    I can't find the link for the Installation instructions i went by but i selected a default instance instead of a named instance. With SS2k, I basically knew what to pick. But with SS2k5, everything looked so different, i didn't know what to do. I just followed the installation instructions online. it had no explanation just directions. Everything seemed fine until i tried to fine QA.

  • Hi...

    Please download and install SSMS from the net.

  • Did you select the client tools during the install?

    Note if you have developer on CD, that there are 2 CDs, one with the server components and one with the client components.
