The SQL Server Management Studio stopped loading after the splash screen showing up for a brief moment and no messages appeared to show me what was wrong, except for Windows playing the default beep sound notifying me of a problem. Don't know whether this is significant in any way.Īny help would be hugely appreciated, as I really need to get this up and running ASAP. Recently, I installed the SQL Server Management Studio 18 (SSMS) and after just one use, it didnt want to start anymore.
One thing I have noticed is that if I go to Start > All Programs > Microsoft SQL Server 2005 > Configuration Tools, I don't have the usual three listings: the only thing on the menu is 'SQL Server Error and Usage Reporting', so the configuration menu seems to be missing 'SQL Server Configuration Manager' and 'SQL Server Surface Area Configuration'. NET Framework 2.0 and MS Core XML Services 6.0. I've uninstalled and reinstalled twice now, the second time following to the letter the instructions on the Microsoft download page about installing. SQL Server Management Studio Express n/a Windows 7, Vista, XP. If I click on Browse for more (servers) nothing comes up in the list at all. Build intelligent, mission-critical applications using a scalable, hybrid database platform that has everything built infrom in-memory performance and advanced security to in-database analytics.
I need to be able to do the same on my new PC, but on the new PC nothing appears in the Server name drop-down box in the Connect to Server window. On my old PC, within the Connect to Server window, my PC name would appear in the Server name drop-down box and I would use this.
#SQL SERVER 2016 EXPRESS MANAGEMENT STUDIO INSTALL#
My basic problem is that the application seems to install OK, and I can open it but I can't connect to any server, or even get it to recognise any server.
At work we're now upgrading to newer machines & I'm trying to install the application & set it up on my new PC (Windows XP Professional SP2), but with no luck. I've been using SQL Server Management Studio Express for about a year on my old PC (Windows 2000 SP2).
