This feels really dumb, but I just can't figure out what's going on. I'm trying to install SQL Server Express 2005 on a Vista Enterprise machine. Everything seems to go hunky dory, but no Enterprise Manager gets installed! I've set up SQL Server Express at work on an XP machine and nor problem, but at home, no bananas. If I go to the install folder/80/Tools/Binn, all I find is some dll's and a help file, no Enterprise Manager. I try to reinstall, it just says there's nothing more to do. What is going on? Am I mad? Am I stupid? (Don't answer that.)

Enterprise Manager is no more supported for SQL Server 2005. It is now replaced by new tool called Management Studio. However, if you are installing Express Edition, it does not come bundled with Management Studio. You have to install it separately.

See this link to download Express edition of Management Studio:
