I just installed SQL Server 2005 Dev edition. I installed DB Services, Analysis Services, Integration Services, Client Components, and Documentation and Samples. I did it on the local machine with windows authentication.

I am only seeing Configuration Tools in my Programs menu...What am I missing?

Thnx.

Solved the problem. I initially installed off of 2 CDs and ran into the same problems this guy did (below). Then I uninstalled and ran off of DVD and it worked.
******************************************************************
"For those who encounters a similar problem:
I guess my problem early on was due to my installing from CD #2.
Although the client tools are mostly located at CD #2, you still have
to install it from CD #1. If you have a DVD, you probably won't
encounter my problem. Besides, it takes more than 30 min. to install
the client, and I actually re-install twice to succeed, the first
install stops and disappears misterously at about 10 min.. I mean,
client install might spend more time than you think.
