| My computer at work is running windows XP Pro, and we have the full SQL Server Management Studio 2005 installed on. The full version gives us the ability to import data into our sql DBs. We need to reformat my laptop now, but i cant figure out how to reinstall the management studio on xp. ive read in a few forum posts that the installable is on the sql server install disk. we have the sql server 2005 enterprise edition disk, but none of the posts ive read give the path or filename of the setup file. when we try to just install sql server on the laptop so we can select custom and just install the management studio it wont let us get to that step because it wont install on xp. What is the path and filename of the setup file for sql server management studio on the sql sever 20005 disk?Thanks for any help in advance |

Thanks for the replyTried that it only comes with sql configuration manager, not sql management studio, config is just settings, sql management studio is an ide |

You cant install MS SQL Enterprise on a workstation, you have to install Developer edition. |
