I have a SQL Server Express edition with management studio and i'm trying to use the enterprise disks ("SQL Server 2005" Enterprise Edition 32-bit Server Applications") and I can't get it to give me the option of installing the server components or a server instance. What am I missing?
You can't install the server tools for Enterprise edition because you need to actually install the server version. You can't add enterprise tools to the Express edition. You need a brand new installation of the full blown Enterprise edition.
If you want the server tools, you need to install the right version, meaning in your case, the Enterprise edition. I don't know if you can do it side-by-side as a new instance (and I'm not even sure if you can install it on a non-server version of Windows.)
Edit
I found the answer to the question of whether you can install it in a non-server version of Windows here.
End Edit
However, if you mean the CLIENT side tools, so that you can create SSIS packages for a SQL Server on another machine (meaning a true server), without having to have Enterprise edition on your development pc, see this article.

I need to run a SSIS package on a server, so I tried to install Integration services via SQL server installation center on the server. The SQL Server 2019 (15.0.2000.5) is updated from Express edition to Developer edition via SQL Server Installation Center.
When I try to install Integration services, Feature selection tab in installation center only shows a few features to select, and there is no Integration services (as shown in ).
Chosen database instance is developer edition (checked with select ##version), however in installation media folder, ENU folder is still called Express_ENU and not Developer_ENU, which is a bit confusing...
If anyone has an idea how this could be resolved, I would be very thankful.
Happy to be wrong, but I think you'll be better served by uninstalling Express and doing a clean install of SQL Server 2019 developer edition.
Having Express and developer edition installed on the same machine is supported. I have developer edition for 2017 and 3 Express instances
But given what you're running into, I'd nuke the existing, install the full product and then if you need Express as well, install it again.
I'm using Windows 10 and have just installed Visual Studio 2017 community edition, as u can see, sql server express 2016 localdb is installed:
However, "SQLServerManager13.msc"(or any trace of configuration manager) is nowhere to be found on my machine.
I'm suspecting it's not installed. But SQL server configuration manager is not available to download as a stand-alone application. Please advise as to what should I do?
Thanks
This installed the LocalDB feature of Express which does not install config mgr, management studio etc and is managed at the command line.
It's meant to be a very easy/quick way to have a lightweight sql server and is not meant to be used except locally and has a special connection string, hence configuration manager is not necessary.
If you want more features you can install the full Express edition or SQL Developer edition which is good for dev/test (non-production) usage.
If you want to have an easier way to interface with the LocalDb you can download Management Studio on it's own and it works with LocalDb as well.
I have Visual Studio 2015 Professional Edition installed on my computer and I would like to start developing applications with SQL instead of MS Access.
What exactly do I need to install in order to achieve that? Do I need a full version of SQL Server and SQL Server Management Studio?
Should I just install MySQL instead? I'm a bit lost... Thank you for your time and help.
SQL Server Express Edition (with tools) is free, and perfect for development purposes. If you need more advanced features then you can use SQL Server Developer Edition which is very cheap and has all features included in the advanced versions of SQL Server. The licence does not permit you to run it in a live environment though.
I am trying to install the SQL Server 2008 R2 express X64 but it doesnot install the MANAGEMENT TOOLS because it finds the VS 2008 and it wants the SP1. I have not install any VS edition. How can I overcome this problem? I have windows 7 professional 64.
Thanks
Perhaps is it because Express comes in different editions. Not all them include the management tools.
Check the download page and choose the right version. The one you need is
SQL Server 2008 Express with Tools
If you are sure you have the right download, perhaps you have installed earlier management tools and sql server considers that a kind of light VS? If you go to your installed programmes, do you see there any kind of SQL Server management tools (earlier version?) or VS?
Have developed a small Windows application using SQL Server as its database.
I need to give the installation pack to my customer, and include the required SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition.
How can I distribute my database without including Management Studio?
You client is going to have to pay a good amount of money to licence the Enterprise version.
You can either:
give them the SQL2005 Express (which you can redistribute)
get them to use Microsoft's Web Platform Installer
You could also use SQLExpress 2008, the client can download either the x86 or x64 editions via this page. You can't stop them from getting SQL Management Studio if they want to (it can be found here), although i'm unsure if the express version has the query analyzer.
Instead of SQL Server enterprise edition you can give Express edition. Express edition is free to re-distribute and use.
There are 3 installation files in SQL Server 2005 express.
1. Windows Installer
2. SQL Server 2005 express
3. Managment studio express
In your case you can install the first two. However SQL Server can be accessed by command prompt also.
SQL Server management studio is another application and does not come bundled with MS Sql server.
SQL pack should only contain SQL Server express edition and not enterprise edition as that is not free and your client will have to pay for it.
