Have you have Installed SQL Server Express Edition only to discover that SQL Management Studio did not get installed with it? Or when you try to install it you can’t find it in the options?
Well, for some reason, if an application such as Visual Web Developer Express, which installs a minimum install of SQL Express, is installed first those settings are used for all subsequent installs of SQL Express on the OS and since SQL Management Studio was not an option for the first install it won’t be permitted for any of the latter.
The solution is to install SQL Server Express Edition first, before any other software is installed.
Should you find yourself in this predicament you may need to wipe the machine and reinstall everything again. Fun.
