How to install Sql Server Management Studio

SQL Server Management Studio is a tool included with Microsoft SQL Server 2005 and later versions for configuring, managing, and administering all components within Microsoft SQL Server. The tool includes both script editors and graphical tools which work with objects and features of the server.

Some time it becomes a mystery to install Sql Server Management Studio. Normally you click setup file to install Sql Server 2005 and its components, though you have selected Client Components (Which includes Sql Server Management Studio) to install with other components, but after installation is complete, you can’t find Sql Server Management Studio in installed programs list.

No need to uninstall and re-install your whole Sql Server 2005. Leave the installed components as is and find out SqlRun_Tools setup file to execute, from following path.



Select Change Installed Components ...



Select CLIENT COMPONENTS, install in completly or you can just select Management Tools. What ever you select DON'T forget to select "Entire feature will be installed on local hard drive"



Connect SQL
