SQL Management Studio 2005 SEPT CTP

Hi,

I have Sept CTP running happily on Windows 2003 SP1. Like you, a clean 
install.

Let's go back a step.

Which management tools did you choose to install  Locally, on what I assume 
is a dev/test server 

Which .exe are you trying to run 

You said it was a clean install. Any warnings on the system check before 
install  Anything in Summary.txt 

Thanks

    Yes, sqlwb.exe is SQL Server Management Studio.

You must have chosen to install other options than the three you mention, I 
think.

Have a look in Summary.txt. It should be in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL 
Server\90\Setup Bootstrap\Log. Any sign of errors or warnings there

    I have installed the Sept CTP of SQL 2005 on a W2K3 Server SP1 and it installed fine with no errors, but there are a couple of issues.

    1. I have no shortcuts to the management tools
    2. When i go to the program directory and run the management studio exe it displays the splash screen briefly and then disappears. The program never starts!!

    Any help is greatly appreciated, especially on point 2 as i cannot do any management without the management studio!! Sad

    Hi,

    There are actually two separate disks for SQL Server 2005 Sept CTP installation, these are named as follows:

    Disk1:  en_SQL2005_DEV_Servers_Sept2005.iso
    Disk2:  en_SQL2005_DEV_Tools_Sept2005.iso

    Did it prompt for Disk2 after it was done with Disk1

    Regards,

    It was a clean install of W2K3, so no beta software had ever been on there.

    Hi,

    It appears that the installation has not gone through correctly. Did you uninstall the previous Beta completely

    Take a look at the following URLs:

    http://yukonxml.com/weblog/Darshan/archive/2004/12/22/200.aspx

    I recommend you completely uninstall everything and then install the Sept CTP.

    Regards,

    yes this is a test server, the options i installed where

    Database services
    Reporting services
    Analysis services

    The .exe i was trying to run, was sqlwb.exe, which i assumed was the management studio
