How to install “SQL Server 2008 Management Studio Express”
How to install SQL Server 2008 Management Studio Express using the Microsoft Web Platform Installer.
If you google for “SQL Server 2008 Management Studio Express” you will find a MS resource which downloads a 172MB setup.
But this setup does not offer a separate “SQL Server 2008 Management Studio Express” option. Why ever.
So i started a new search and i found this solution:
Download & install the web platform installer http://www.microsoft.com/web/Downloads/platform.aspx
Start the installer
and use the “customize” link in the Database section to activate “SQL Server 2008 Management Studio Express” option
