Quetions about Sql server 2005 CPT April installation -- can not find "Sql server manager s

I suceeded in installing sql server 2005 CPT (April), and no any error appeared. But when I pressed Start -- All programs -- Miscrosoft Sql server 2005 CPT, just one "Configuration Tools" appeared. No "Sql server manager studio", "Sql server books online" and other items appear. I can not find them. I don't know how to find them, either.

I also go to the Administrative tools -- Services, and the Analysis Server, Report server, Sql Server, sql server agent have been started.

So, can any body help me out? Thanks.I'm guessing you either already had SQL Server Express installed (possibly through VS) or you didn't select the tools from the feature tree.

There is a known issue with the interaction of Tools installed with Developer (Beta/CTP) Edition and Express. If you edinstall Express first the only way you can install the tools with Developer is to first uninstall the tools Express installed - note that if you install Express through VS it does a full Express installation.

Working around the Tools.msi issues with SQL Server Express:

Scenario 1: Install VS w/ Express First

1) Install VS with Express

2) Go to Add/Remove Programs and remove "SQL Server Tools Express"

3) Install SQL Server Beta SKU with Tools

Scenario 2: Install SQL Server Beta First

1) Install SQL Server Beta w/o Tools

2) Install VS with Express

3) Go to Add/Remove Programs and remove "SQL Server Tools Express"

4) Rerun SQL Server Beta setup and select tools

This is something we'll have cleaned up before we ship. I hope this helps.

Dan
