I have had SQL 2008 R2 Express installed for a while now, used it for classes last year.

I want to install the 2008 Management Studio Express. I chose the install Add features.

I n the several message after that there was no mention of Management Studio being installed, just 2008 R2.

I did notice that Powershell 1.0 was required, but, I am on Vista. I tried to install Powershell 2.0 but it said it wasn't relevant to my PC. I tried to install the downloader (also required) but it also said it wasn't relevant to my PC.

ARe there any documents that specifically address installing the Mangement Studio 2008 Express?

If your OS is Windows 7 , you can install SQL Server 2008 R2 Express in Advanced Services.

How utterly confusing - appears that some of the installation options are not supported by SQL Express, but the webs doco does not call this out. (msdn.microsoft.com/.../ms144259.aspx)

Most enterprises do NOT want to do a manual install, yet the silent/unattended install remains a mystery. The log file offers no explanation other than "Error 0x758c42a6".

Come on Microsoft - everyone is beating their heads against a brick wall with this...

How can I make SQL Express 2008 R2 as a prerequisite in my Visual Studio 2010 setup project? Right now, I only see SQL Express 2008 in the list.

This is so frustrating.

I have Windows 7. I want to install SQL Server 2008 Express. Where do I go? I have installed

SQLEXPR_x64_ENU

SQLEXPWT_x64_ENU

SQLManagementStudio_x64_ENU

I am already running Visual Studio that I installed today. No problem.

I keep getting pointed to versions to downlaod that aren't supported for Windows 7. What a farce.

All I want is to do is to create a database and start scripting some tables and users and get a few web pages going.

This is the most frustrating experience I have had in ages.

Is SQL Server 2008 R2 Express compatible with applications developed using VS 2008 SP1?

If I am installing SQL 2008 Express R2, do I still need to install the SQL 2008 Express SP1?
