Can't Install 2005 SQL Server Management Studio, It Doesnt Show Up. What A Joke!
Nov 1, 2007
Hello I have wasted several hours on this simple problem and I'm ready to give up. I simply want SQL Server Management Studio on my laptop so I can connect to our 2005 servers and manage them. I have several different versions of 2005 from our MSDN subscription including but not limited to:
SQL 2005 Enterprise Edition (MSDN Library DVD)
SQL 2005 Workgroup Edition
SQL 2005 Standard Edition
Visual Studio 2005 Team Foundation Server (SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition)
Everytime I tried to install it, the Server Management Studio simply would not install. I looked for the exe files and didn't find them. I verified the path several times and they simply didn't install. I googled and found a few solutoins but none helped. For example on:
http://aspadvice.com/blogs/name/archive/2007/09/24/Installing-SQL-Server-Management-Studio-with-SQL-Server.aspx
They stated to go to the 'Tools' folder on the CD and run it from there, I do not have these folders on my SQL 2005 CD/DVDs. I tried to reinstall it a few times with selection only the management tools for the client, but it thinks I have SQL 2005 installed!!! I uninstalled it from add/remove, and it didn't work. I deleted the folders and it didn't work. I ran
msicuu2.exe and that still isn't working.
Are there ANY suggestions on how to get this freaking Server Management Studio installed? MS really blew it on this one. Thanks in advance.
I have several servers that do not have SSMS installed. A couple of them are running as a clustered server. How do I install SSMS on these servers? they are running and have production databases on them. I have tried re-installing the management tools but that didn't work.
I just installed SQL Server 2005 64bit on a fresh system with no other applications loaded on running on the new server.
The only other component that was installed with the SS2K5 database services is SSIS. The base installation and the SP2 patch went on perfect.
I went looking for the Management Studio thru the Start menu options and it is NOT under the Microsoft SQL Server 2005 group. The only options under the SS2K5 group are "Configuration Tools" and "Docs and Tutorials".
Here are file names that I downloaded from the MS website and installed.
SW CD SQL Svr Enterprise Edtn 2005 64Bit X64 English #1 x64 MLF.x11-57796 (which is a zipped)
SQLServer2005SP2-KB921896-x64-ENU
There was also another zipped file that I tried to install but it seems to be a duplicate of the zipped file above:
SW CD SQL Svr Enterprise Edtn 2005 64Bit X64 English #2 x64 MLF.x11-57797
Installed Server 2008 (64bit) Installed VS2008 (+SQL 2005 Express, by default)
I've always installed SQL 2005 Dev (including the SQL Management Studio) before installing VS. Now I am trying to install just the management studio on this machine without success.
I tried installing the SQL workstation tools package from the SQL 2005 DVD but the installer detects the tools installed by SQL express (osql, etc.., but no management studio GUI) and the installer refuses to install anything else. I also tried downloading the separate installer for SQL management studio but it doesn't like something also: first thing the installer does is display this mesage:
"Installation of this product failed because it is not supported on this operating system For more information on supported configurations, see the product documentation."
Any way to do this without having to reinstall VS?
Im currently using SQL server 2005 Management Studio. I need to export files from SQL database to Access database. But I dun think SISS is installed. Can anyone advise where to look for the file to install? Thks in advance.
I have installed Visual Studio 2005 Prof Edition on a Vista machine and SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition on a Windows 2000 server. They will be used as a development environment for us. As we need to management the SQL Server 2005, we would like to install the 2005 Developer SSMS on the Vista machine such that we can manage the SQL Server 2005 developer instance installed on that Win2k machine. However, the system does not allow us to do it. We have the express edition autoamtically installed while we installed the Vistual Studio. Is there any workaround that i can still install the 2005 developer SSMS without uninstall the sql server 2005 Xpress version? Or, I have to uninstall the Xpress version before i can install the 2005 developer's SSMS? Please help!

I tried several times to install SQL Server 2005 but always bumped into the same issue, there is an error and I can't see the SQL Server Management Studio. The message says "Product : Workstation Components, Books Online and Development Tools Error : A component that you have specified in the ADD_LOCAL property is already installed. To upgrade the existing component, refer to the template.ini and set the UPGRADE property to the name of the component."
I had a look at the log file as suggested during the install process but can't understand it. I uploaded it on my server: http://www.corobori.com/SQLSetup0001_ULURU_Tools.log

I tried to install SQL Server 2005 in a fresh installed Windows 2003 SP2. And this server is a workgroup member, not a member of a domain.
The services (Database service, integration service, reporting services and so on) work fines, but the other components, such as SQL XML 6.0 , SQL Server management Studio cannot be installed. And I have tried several times on a fresh-installed windows 2003 sp2.
I checked the log, I found the following error,The SQL Network Interface library could not deregister the Service Principal Name (SPN) for the SQL Server service. Error: 0x54b. Administrator should deregister this SPN manually to avoid client authentication errors.
2007-11-18 15:40:59.35 Server The SQL Network Interface library could not deregister the Service Principal Name (SPN) for the SQL Server service. Error: 0x54b. Administrator should deregister this SPN manually to avoid client authentication errors.
Then the installation existed with the error message "There was an unexpected failure during the setup wizard. You may review the setup logs and/or click the help button for more information. ".
I never had this problem and this time, I really got the trouble and do not have solution.
Who have ever encounter this problem? Or someone can help me?
I'm trying to upgrade my management studio to the full version, I uninstalled Express edition and started the install for the full version, but I get an error stating "you cannot install this component because it is already installed". I had a word with one of the guys in the office and he said the only way he's ever been able to get round this is by flattening the entire PC and starting again. Obviously I want to avoid that!
I am trying to install SQL Server 2005 using command prompt. I have gotten the latest download. My question is what is the commad prompt for the tag ADDLOCAL for SQL Server Management Studio Express. For SQL Server datatbase it is called SQL_Engine. In the same way what should I be using for "SQL Server Management Studio Express". I want to limit the choices that are installed on the user machines.
I am new to visual studio and I am still not sure of all its components and features.
I installed visual studio 2005 standard edition but cannot find SQL Server Management Studio?
I guess this must be because it is not included with Visual studio 2005 standard. Is it included with VS 2005 professional?
I want to add pictures of products to my shopping site using an SQL database and I’ve been told that SQL Server Management studio is required as it is a graphical tool.
How would I go about obtaining the SQL server management studio. There seems to be different versions of SQL server that it is confusing to know which one to purchase.
Will the SQL server 2005 version that comes with Visual studio standard be sufficient for me now right? I want to create a shopping site with hundreds, perhaps even thousands of products. I want to use an SQL server 2005 database. The database will include ‘dynamically generated’ product images if that is the correct terminology.
My goodness, it seems I still have so much to learn.
I'm very confused. I installed Visual Studio 2005 and thought I understood that SQL Server 2005 came with it, but it appears that it's SQL Server 2005 - Express. Can anyone tell me what I need to do in order to get Data Transformation Services loaded or the equivalent of DTS in SQL Express?
In my VB 2005 Express, I created a Windowds Form application "shcDataSet" that used 1 SqlConnection, 1 SqlDataSet and 3 SqlDataAdapters associated with the Northwind Database in my SQL Server Management Studio Express. The SqlConnection had "User Instance" in the following ConnectionString: Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename="C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDataorthwnd.mdf";Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=30;User Instance=True. The 3 SqlDataAdapters were for the Northwind files "Customers", "Orders" and "Order Details" used in the SQLDataSet "AllOrders" with a AllOrders.xsd file. I ran the "shcDataSet" applicatyion and it worked fine. After the execution of "shcDataSet", I checked the Northwind database in my SQL Server Management Studio Express and clicked on "+" in front of Northwind database-I did not see any file showed up and I got the following error message: Failed to retrieve data for this request. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Express.SmoEnum) Additional information: one or more files do not match the primary file of the database. If you are attempting to attach a database, retry the operation with the correct files. If this is an existing database, the file may be corrupted and should be restored from a backup. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error:5173). If I executed the "shcDataSet" application again, I got a new error: SqlException was unhandled - Cannot open user default database. Login failed. Login failed for user 'myPC##myName' ------->daCustomers.Fill(AllOrders11, "Customers"). I have 3 questions to ask: (1) How can I re-install the Northwind database in SQL Server Management Studio Express? (2) When I use the .Fill Method, do I have to tell the SQL Server Management Studio Express to load and/or unload the Northwind files "Customers", "Orders" and "Order Details"? (3) After I executed the "shcDataSet", should I Upload the 3 Northwind files back to the SQL Server Management Studio Express? Please help and advise. Thanks, Scott Chang
I just recently purchased a sony with Vista business preloaded. It seems like it came with MS 2005 Sql Server but I'm not sure what edition. I went to the start menu to locate the Management Studio however the only option was the Configuration file. I went to MS site and downloaded the 2005 Sql Server Express Edition with Advance Service SP2 and it installed correctly. I believe this edition comes with Management Studio. However when I went to my Start Menu, the Management Studio file is still not there. How do I fix this problem? I am new to the MS Sql so a detail explanation will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
I received the Visual Studio 2005 Standard and SQL Server 2005 Standard from the Microsoft Launch event in Anahiem. I was able to install SQL Express via VS 2005 without any problems. I am able to install SQL 2005 Standard without any problems the only problem I have is that I cannot install the Management Studio.
I uninstalled SQL Server 2005 Standard and installed the SQL Server 2005 Express managment studio and it installed without any problems. Is there any reason why I can install SSMSE but not SSMS?
Let me know what information you need besides what I have provided below.

I have created two instaces on the Database Engine and have managed to also create a linkedserver between the two instances.

=============== Database could not be exclusively locked to perform operation. ALTER DATABASE FAILED. The default collation of database"XXXX" cannot be set to ....(Microsoft SQl Server, Error : 5030) ===============

i would like to ask if there is a way to FILTER THE IPADDRESSES of users who wants to login the SQL Server Management Studio. right now, we are using Enterprise Edition of SQL Server 2005.
i just want to limit the users who can log in at Management Studio, the users know the password of SA, and i can't change the password coz we have deployed the programs with odbc connection using SA. so i thought of filtering the ipaddress of computers i want to grant access to SQL Server Management Studio, if its possible.
I have full version of SQL server 2005 installed on my machine.
I am now also trying to install express edition as well. Though the database engine got installed, the managment studio *express* does not get installed as the management studio of full version is already installed. Can I use the management studio of full version to access this express edition database engine. If so how ?
I've installed all the options from the sQL server CD but can't find how to install the Management Studio. I'm missing something obvious, but beat's me where it is.
I handle all licensing for our companies. I am trying to completely understand the licensing and want to insure if I approve the installation of Mgmt Studio 2005, that it is covered by SQL Developer licenses?
