Hi I recently installed sql server 2008.

Because it's functionality was limited i tried to install the SQL Server® 2008 Management Studio Express. After downloading the file from the internet, I attempted to install and got the error message -

not a valid win32 application.

I downloaded the file a second time, but the same thing happened when attempting to install.

Does anyone know what is wrong here
