SQL Server 2014 services are not visible

I've installed the SQL Server MgmtStudio 64BIT\SQLManagementStudio_x64_ENU.exe . I tried to login in the SSMS but it throws an error specifying "Network Path Not Found.". After googling I found to start the services.
But, in my services I couldn't even find the list of SQL services as show in the below image.
I even checked the sql server configuration and everything is enabled.
This is my first time installation in Windows 10 64 bit.
Please provide if this might be a duplicate.
I think you installed only the management studio client. Please install the Server version of SQL Server

SQL Server 2014 - No services installed in SQL Configuration Manager

I have Installed Microsoft® SQL Server® 2014 Express , but I can't find SQL Server Services to run it in the "SQL Server Configuration Manager", so I can't connect to SQL server.
It's a problem because when I launch Sql Server Management Studio and that I try to connect me on the database server with server name "(local)", "localhost", "SQLEXPRESS",(local)/SQLEXPRESS, it doesn't work
I've seen in services.msc and I saw "SQL Server VSS Writer" launched automatically.
Do you have a solution ?
Thank you
If you download from http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=42299, make sure use SQLEXPRADV_x86_ENU.exe or SQLEXPR_x86_ENU.exe. SQLManagementStudio_x86_FRA.exe does not contains database engine.
I want to think that I had the same issue. When this happened to me, I went to the Configuration Manager only to learn that I had no Services whatsoever. I solved it by installing the SQL Server Express with with Advanced Services version from Microsoft.
I don't know whether you do need all its functionality, though. But what I do know is that it will solve your issue.
The problem is actually, I am pretty sure, that you have installed the Management Studio, not the Database Engine itself. You have to install the Database Engine. The response #Edward gave will lead you to the Database Engine for SQL Server Express 2014, that will do the trick.
I hope this helps to clarify what the problem was.

the setup failed to read IIsMimeMap table. The error code is -2147023550

I'm trying to uninstall SQL Server from my machine so that I can install SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition.
I'm getting the following error message.
the setup failed to read IIsMimeMap
table. The error code is -2147023550
Thank in advance.
The solution is to stop IIS
c:> NET STOP "World Wide Web Publishing Service"
Stopping IIS/IIS Admin didn't help me, nor did searching for the error code. However, Microsoft has a solution. From the KB article:
Cause
This issue occurs because the uninstall program cannot run correctly
if the virtual directories for SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services are
not present.
Workaround
To work around this issue, re-create the virtual directories for SQL
Server 2005 Reporting Services by using the Reporting Services
Configuration tool. After you re-create the virtual directories, you
can uninstall or repair the installation of SQL Server 2005 Reporting
Services successfully.
I had a bad Website in IIS. I removed it, used the tool to recreate both of the required Virtual Directories, and then uninstalled successfully.

SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services (x64) on Windows 2K8 -> CleanCurrentUserName() not found

I have installed SQL Server 2005 three times now on the same box. I cleaned up registry settings, files, you name it.
All along I have been trying to install SQL Server 2005 Database and Reporting Services (x64) on a Windows 2008 Server. I have also applied the SP3 patch. Installing and Restarting the Server at every point. Verified that the installation was 64bit. ASP.NET and IIS7 are both running under 64bit.
Also, I have installed multiple instances (SQLDEV64, SQLQA64, SQLSTAGE64) of the Database and Reporting Services.
I started to go through the Reporting Services Configuration manager, installing the Reporting Database along with setting up IIS. When I go test the website I get the following error and there lies my question. How can I get around this error?
http://localhost/reportserver
Reporting Services Error
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
An internal error occurred on the report server. See the error log for more details. (rsInternalError)
Method not found: 'Void Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.UserUtil.CleanCurrentUserName()'.

SQL Server Reporting Services
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I found the solution to my issue by pure chance. It looks like the SP3 upgrade only upgraded the last reporting services instance that was installed. So I had to manually copy the files under:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.9\Reporting Services\ReportServer
to the other instances. This seemed to fix the missing reference issue. I work with Microsoft products and defend them every day, but some of their developer tool install files are just wonky and ill packaged.

Can I run Windows Server 2008 on Amazon EC2

does anyone know if this can be done? I can find Windows Server 2003 but not 2008.
I read you can create your own EC2 Virtual machines, but I haven't found any articles that say you can do this with Windows Server 2008.
I'm really after IIS7, but I'd also intend to use SQL Server Express 2008 until such time as I can add support for SimpleDB or maybe fire up a seperate SQL Server instance.
I also have some Windows Services which run. Which puts shared hosting out the window mostly. Yes there's Azure but I think that would involve more effort than I want to spend initially.
Any help much appreciated,
My current stack is
Windows Server 2008
IIS7
.Net 3.5 SP1
Asp.net MVC
Some Windows Services
Linq2Sql
SQL Server Express 2008
You can now!
Amazon revealed Windows Server 2008 availability in december 2009 and there are pre-build AMIs ready for use either with or without Sql Server 2008.
See their Windows information page for more info about pricing and such. The Windows & .NET Developer Center is also a useful resource.
Amazon EC2 does not currently support any Windows besides Windows 2003.
