Hi
I got exactly the same error. I scrounged around in the log files a bit and discovered this in the SQLSetupXXX_YYY_Core(Local).txt file:

I coudn't find the "SQL Server 2005 Tools" iso.
Please, anybody knows the url

I have finally managed to get the management studio installed! I had to download the "SQL Server 2005 Tools" iso (the one I had installed from is the "SQL Server 2005 Server" iso). It looks to me like the Tools are supposed to be in the Server install, but for some reason were separated out.
Anyway, after extracting the iso I ran the tools installation and now have the management studio / Books online etc.
Happy SQL'ing!
