where is sql server management studio

  • Hi I successfully installed the following but I don't see sql server management studio for 2008 like in sql server 2005. Where is it? Is it in the Express edition?

    Installation / New SQL Server stand-alone installation or add features to an existing installation

    Thank you

  • the default Express does not include SSMS; you need the "2008 with Advanced Services"

    install that, and you'll have the "Express" version of SSMS; it doesn't allow you to open anything but the database engine, even if the server you connect to had, say SSIS, Analysis Services or anything else.
