hi

i installed SQL Server 2008 February CTP  but i cannot found SQL Server Management Studio for 2008 i also try to connect through SQL Server 2005  Management Studio Express but error message "You can only connect with 2000 or 2005". So if i want to learn 2008 How???????

Hello imran,

SQL2008 CTP 5 and priors require the uninstallation of SQL Server Management Studio 2005 if exists one which is installed earlier.

This means SQL2008 SSMS and SQL2005 SSMS are not supported to run side-by-side.

But however I managed to install and run both SSMS's for 2005 and 2008 CTP6 by changing the installation path of Client Tools of CTP 6 from the default installation path.

I used C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server CTP6\ for CTP6 installation.

You can read my blog post on this topic at Installing the Microsoft SQL Server 2008 (Katmai) CTP6

Hi,

Not very sure about this, but DVD image X86 DVD Image  contains SSMS. I believe what you installed was the x86 Executable. Also when i had such simlar issues in Sql 2005, i would browse to the Tools folder and search for SqlRun_Tools.msi. Run it.
