I installed MS SQL Server 2008 Express to use it along with the rest of .Net Framwork (C#, ASP.Net). I was running into issues in C# where I couldn't create a New Item => Database, so I uninstalled the 64-bit and installed the 32-bit, which fixed my C# issue. But now I can't get to the SQL Server Application, all I see in Programs is Import and Export Data and Configuration Tools. Can anyone help?

Thanks.

Yes, well initially I installed the Microsoft Free Web Platform Installer which I believes includes Studio Express. Now, I look and see that I have Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2008 Express and Microsoft Visual C# 2008 Express installed.

Sorry. Well, I didn't think so but it looks as though Studio is part of the Web Installer. So I'll say yes.

ok, so after thinking about your response I think I uninstalled the studio, then ran the 32-bit install, thinking it would have everything I needed. But apparently it doesn't. Do I need to reinstall the Studio? and if so, how can I do that and still keep the 32-bit version?
