Just recently my Business Management Studio has been crashing regularly. It's been flakey for months, but it's finally gotten to the point where I almost can't use it at all and I think it's time to reinstall it.

I have the installation disk -- but how do I go about this? As I understand it, if I "X" out the things I have already installed in the setup, it will deinstall them. So I don't want to "X" out the Reporting Service, Database Service, Analysis Service, etc.

However, if I don't "X" them out, will they reinstall the entire database? I feel I can't take that chance.

Should I just "X" out the Management Tools, and then it will deinstall them, and then run it again and don't "X" anything out, and it will install whatever is not already installed?

Has anyone had experience in reinstalling the Management Studio alone?

Thanks,


Cynthia

Thanks Ahmad, but exactly how do I do that?

Do I:

(1) "X" out the Management Tools, causing them to be deinstalled
(2) Run setup again, saying to install everything, and then it will only install what's missing?

I want to be careful not to accidentally reinstall things that are already installed.

The setup will not reinstall the things that you have already installed, instead it will say that these things already exist in your system..
