When I install SQL Server 2012 Express I do not see the SQL Server Management Studio

When I install SQL Server 2012 Express I do not see the SQL Server Management Studio when I look for it via Start -> All Programs -> SQL Server 2012 Express.

Well, which version of SQL Server 2012 Express did you install??

  • there's the bare-bones engine - just the engine, nothing else
    (Express (Containing only the database engine))

  • there's the SQL Server 2012 Express With Tools version which includes and installs Management Studio

  • there's the SQL Server 2012 Express Advanced Services version (which I believe doesn't include Management Studio)

So which one did you install? If you got the bare-bones one : yes, that doesn't include Management Studio. Either download the With Tools edition, or install Management Studio separately.
