sql server msde:
PRB SQL Express Installation not installing Manager.
Please help, We are trying to work with SQL Server Express 2005, but we are having several installation problems. #1) Despite all efforts, the Database Manager program (ssmsee.exe) is NOT being installed on some XP-Pro machines even though the user has FULL admin right (and then some) to their machine. And the machine is fully 100% updated with all MS patches, including IE 7. This includes many uninstall-reinstall efforts. #2) On some machines that HAD the Database MAnager, the user logs in, and then suddenly it is GONE. The file and the short cut link. #3) We need a profiler tool like SQL Server's 2000 Profiler which worked on MSDE, but does not seem to be able to work on SQL Express 2005.

SQLEXPR.EXE, the installer of SQLExpress, does not contain SQL Server Management Studio Express... it has to be (downloaded) installed separately from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=C243A5AE-4BD1-4E3D-94B8-5A0F62BF7796&displaylang=en the SQLExpress with Advanced Service package, available from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=4C6BA9FD-319A-4887-BC75-3B02B5E48A40&displaylang=en , includes it...

Thank you for the reply,
You have answered 1 and 2 through that link. Basically to explain 1 and 2 in other words. We installed SQL Express 2005 and it DID install the management tool, the same one that is in that link you provided. But it did not do this on every machine. And on some machine, after a few days, it disappeared. And no matter what we tried to do on the machines that never got it, or once had it, we could never get it again. From this, I would have to say, that perhaps the SQL Express 2005 installer has some bug that is making it install the manager tool either from itself, or maybe the web, some of the time, and then perhaps removing it from the SQL Server Express 2005 service. As nothing else can explain this behavior. We have tested this out over 7 machines, including 2 of which were Windows 2000. Strangely, the Windows 2000 machines were the only one to get the manager tool and keep them so far. As for the #3, can one use the SQL Server 2000 profiler with a SQL Express
ONLY if you have a legitimately purchased and licensed copy of SQL Server
which gives you license to use Profiler. -- Arnie Rowland, Ph.D. Westwood Consulting, Inc Most good judgment comes from experience.

Once upon a time, with MSDE, one could do that.

I've just installed a Virtual Machine with SSMSE only, and the setup did not include a feature like "install for current user only", so that SSMSE is available to all Windows account.. I even created a test limited user to log in like, to see if perhaps SSMSE were not available for it, but it actually is... really no idea...

Once upon a time, with MSDE, one could do that. :D anyway, you can not use SQL Server 2000 Client Tools against SQL Server 2005 editions.... -- Andrea Montanari (Microsoft MVP - SQL Server) http://www.asql.biz http://italy.mvps.org DbaMgr2k ver 0.20.0 - DbaMgr ver 0.64.0 and further SQL Tools --------- remove DMO to reply
