Management Studio Still will not install

I followed the thread "Re: Management Studio for SQL Server 2005 Standard "

But these remedies did not resolve the problem.

Environment:

AMD Athlon64

XP-Pro 64 2gig ram

Office Pro 2003

Visual Studio 2005

SQL-Server 2005 Developer

I get an error at the end of the install attempt:

None of the selected features can be .... and so on.

It is saying that the reason is because the upgrade is blocked....SQl-Serever express..

I am not trying to upgrade SQL-Expres...I am trying to get MS installed on SQL-Server Developer edition....

Hi Ibrahim,

If you allready have Express Management Studio installed on a box you cannot also install the full blown management studio. You must use one or the other to my knowledge. The following is an a text fragment out of the Readme file for the Nov 2005 CTP, you can find this file http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=82AFBD59-57A4-455E-A2D6-1D4C98D40F6E&displaylang=en

3.0 Known Issues

3.1 Side-by-side Installation

SQL Server Management Studio and SSMSE cannot be installed side-by-side on the same computer.

Hope this helps,
