Installing SQL 2005 after Visual Studio 2005

WinXP Pro

Installed Visual Studio Team Suite

Installed Team Explorer

Installed SQL 2005 with all the features turned on (so everything installs)

Result: None of the SQL Management Studio tools show up.

I checked ARP and see all the entries for Microsoft SQL Server 2005.

I also checked the Services and see SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER).

I also see SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS) but don't see an ARP entry for it.

Any ideas on how to install the SQL 2005 Studio tools?

Thanks!

1. Have you try the setup.exe under ...\tools\setup.exe?

2. There will be only one entry for all SQL Server 2005 editions/instances. Go to ARP, and open SQL Server 2005 entry, select change, you can see all SQL Server 2005 editions/instances.

|||Thanks. I was able to see the sql express instance and uninstall it.
