and I continued setup but I could not found SQL Server Management Studio tools in start menu
As mentioned, you have missed installing SSMS. You can go through the install process again (you don't need to uninstall, just run it again), except this time make sure you put a check mark next to the Management tools when you do feature selections. I'd tell you exactly where it is but i only have a SQL2008 install on hand at the moment.
Your SQL is not completely installed, I suggest you to update all feature in your OS.
may be you installed Express edition?
also Management Studio is free, you can download it from link text

I am facing the problem of finding SQL Server Profiler in SQL Server 2005. Is there are any options to enable it or to reinstall it?
Two possibilities.
First, you're running Sql Server Express. That doesn't come with Profiler. In that case, you can use this tool, which is an open source version that is pretty good. I've used it a few times myself (not associated with the project, spamflaggers).
Else, you need to rerun the installer and add Profiler. If it didn't get installed, it has to be installed. That's the general state of things in the software world.
You can select SQL Server Profiler from the Tools menu in SQL Server Management Studio.
The file is located on my computer under:
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\Binn\PROFILER90.EXE"
If its not there you may have to select the client tools from the SQL Server installer.
Simply navigate to add/remove programs, and click 'change' on the SQL Server 2005.
I had the same problem and it was because I had installed Management Studio Express before I installed the full version. You can't have more than one instance of Management Studio, therefore, it won't install the full version over the express version. I found that I had to remove the express SSMS and then install the full SSMS:-
Go to Control Panel/Programs and Features (in Windows 7)
At "Select an instance", choose "Remove Shared Features Only"
Choose "Management Tools - Basic"
You can then run the installer again and install the FULL SSMS. Dunno if this was the problem you were having, but hopefully someone finds it useful.
Where can I download that? All I can find is the express version. I bought the SQL Server Developer 2008, but the Studio wasnt installed along with it...
Thanks
SSMS is ALWAYS part of any non-express edition including DEV edition (I mean you dont need to download it seperately).
When you install SQL Server Dev. (or any other non-express edition), during setup process you will come across a screen where you can select which components to install (e.g. SSIS, SSRS, SSAS, BIDS, BOL etc). In that step you will need to select SSMS to get it installed.
For some reason if you have skipped that step you can run setup again and just install SSMS only.
But I dont think there is any seperate download available for "normal" SSMS.
This is an annoyance because access to SQL Server from a workstation is necessary and the only way (as previous posters mentioned) is to use the full SQL Server licensed installation package.
You'll run the setup to install as though you're installing the full database. In some cases, setup will detect that you'll need to first install some dependencies. When you come to the Feature Selection, you can select the Management Tools only.

You can download eval version from this link -
http://www.microsoft.com/sqlserver/2008/en/us/trial-software.aspx
The express edition are the free versions.
The express version is the free version. If you want another version you need to buy it. My best guess is that it is included in one of those packages on in the microsoft store.
EDIT
According to a forum:
I`m not sure what you mean - you ask
for Management Studio and there is a
download link for SQL Server
Management Studio Express.
Or will you buy a SQL Server Standard,
Enterprise or Datacenter Edition -
then you have the "normal" SQL Server
Management Studio.
I'm trying to re-install SQL Server Express from http://www.microsoft.com/express/Database/.
Visual Studio Web was installed previously, so I removed the SQL Server under add programs before installation, since I didn't get a server administration tool with the bundle.
Now, Microsoft (hello, haven't meet in five years), presents an interface to me (SQL Server Installation Center), with endless popups, progress bars, and eula checkboxes, but nothing more than "Setup Support Files" are being installed.
Are they pulling my leg? (Delicate humor if so, the loop is quite annoying, and finally ends with a crash).
Any way to fix this or should I fallback to a FOSS-db?

Get the Web Platform Installer. Best case scenario is it will help you get what you need installed (inc. SQL EXPRESS) on top of what you have. Worst case it'll make the process a lot easier if you decide to do a clean build.
Is it possible to install Management Studio by itself, and if so, is there a separate download/install exe for it?
Yes, use custom install and chose not to install the database engine.
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Management Studio Express
and 2008 added:
Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Management Studio Express
I believe that there is one installation, but you can pick the management tools (and not install a server).
BTW - the 2008 installer takes forever and is way more complicated than the 2005 installer.
You can get Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 RTM - Management Studio Express here.
I believe that if you install SQL Server Management Express, you can't manage all the objects you can in the version you get from installing from the media. For example, you can't manage integration services or analysis services with management express.
The only way I've ever been able to install it is from the media; but like a previous post mentions, you don't have to install the database engine.
It's confusing for new DBAs that's for sure. I spent a significant amount of time trying to find a "SSMS.msi" on microsoft's website before I figured out it was on the media, and could be installed without installing the database engine; though you have to go to "install SQL Server Stand-alone" to get to it.
Fortunately, I'm still having a hard time trying to keep the server version and all the developers that need SSMS on the same version. If anyone knows of a way to make an .MSI (or download) one that contains all the correct versions of A.S./S.S.I.S/Database Engine I would love to hear it.
+1 for RQDQ. For 2008 I think you need 3.5 .Net Framework also. And yes it takes forever doing all kinds of validations.
you can download management studio by itself, but when you install Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2, management studio is also installed
Basic Question -
I have installed SQL Server Express 2008 with integrated SP1. This is the database engine alone.
I realise now that I also need the express studio in order to perform a few tasks. I have installed it, however I know that it was the original installer from before SP1 was released.
I have tried it and it appears to work fine but should I install SP1 / could something unforeseen happen in the future?
Some background! -
I wrote out the question and just realised that people probably don't care, so I just summed it up above!
After reading many different sites and guides, the install order for Visual Studio 2008 really confused me.
I really wanted to install SQL Server Express 2008 with advanced services, however on my other machine I had so many problems with it not being detected with Visual Studio, I just wanted an easy life!
I found the download from Microsoft that had SQL Server Express 2008 with SP1 integrated, however it was only the basic engine without any addons. (At the end of the day, as much as I wouldn't mind reporting services, I doubt I will need to use it any time soon).
I installed this, and after applying the hotfix (for x64 sql) my Visual studio can detect and use it no problem.
Now, I want to use Management Studio Express to write a few SQL scripts. The installer is obviously the original one. It seems to work fine, but I cannot find out any information - do I need to install SP1 for it?
Just install it, if its found something it can update - it will, if not... it won't....
Thanks to the wonder of Windows Installer (and I don't mean "I wonder why it's doing that?"--I mean like "This is wonderful!") it is unlikely that you have caused any big issues by running the older version afterwards.
So, yeah, you can probably just install the SQL 2008 Express Management Tools with no worries. If you want to be sure, afterwards just run the SP1 installer and it will make sure everything's up-to-date.
I always make sure to apply patches to client tools as well as server services. There is no reason to take the chance that your client tools have fallen behind in servicing.
