Missing SQL Server Management Studio in SQL Server 2014 Express

I have just downloaded SQL Server 2014 Express. In the setup client included, I chose "New SQL Server stand-alone installation or ...". I just left everything as default.

However, at the end of the installation, I cannot find SQL Server Management Studio on my machine?

I have check the installation setting and there is no explicit setting (feature selection) to include SQL Server Management Studio?

I am using windows 8.

How can I get SQL Server Management Studio?

Solution

  • You need to install that separately. It isn't a part of the default SQL Server Express package.
