I installed VS 2008 and then installed SQL server 2005 and choose desktop tools but Management Studio does not show up. Any ideas?
A:
You need to install SQL then visual studio; until V2008 SP1 that was the case for SQL 2008 as well. You might be able to add the tools using add remove programs; if that doesnt work remove VS2008; install management tools; install VS2008 again.

Are you talking about the SQL Management Studio? I just downloaded it and installed it rather than wasting my time with the installer on the VS disc. It's available somewhere on MS's site.

So you downloadeded AND installed, rather than install? Sounds like a real time-saver :D

sorry I wasn't clear, after the visual studio and sql installer on the CD didn't do the job, I just downloaded the .msi installer of SQL management studio and ran that.
