Where is SQL Server Management Studio 2012

Question

I had SQL Server 2008 R2 and Visual Studio 2008 and 2010 on my laptop  I ve installed SQL Server 2012 and have finally got SQL Server Data Tools to show up  so that I can create SSRS reports in Visual Studio 2010   Although I ve installed Management tools - many times - on two separate instances of SQL Server 2012  I can t find them in Programs and can t run them  The only SSMS program I can find runs SSMS 2008 R2   I realise that common advice is to install SQL Server before Visual Studio  but I really don t want to uninstall Visual Studio  as this will bring a host of other problems    How can I fix this problem

I just ran into this problem  I had to open back the installation for SQL Server and click Installation -  New SQL server installation or add features to existing installation  Then when we follow the instruction until we reach feature selection  just check the SQL Management tools checkbox and continue   I have no idea why this software is considered a feature and hidden like this  It should be a stand-alone software installation

Late answer but could be of use to other readers  Although SQL Server Management Studio installation is user friendly  more or less  people still seem to bump into different issues  There are lots of tutorials and instructions online  and I personally followed the ones found in this article  http   www sqlshack com sql-server-management-studio-step-step-installation-guide    It explains installing a standalone SSMS  but you can also install SSMS along with SQL Server     just make sure that you have selected Management Tools in the Feature selection screen   I also recommend reading a step-by-step tutorial on installing SSMS 2008 Express after Visual Studio 2010 which can be found here  http   blogs msdn com b bethmassi archive 2011 02 18 step-by-step-installing-sql-server-management-studio-2008-express-after-visual-studio-2010 aspx   It can help if you   ve just installed Visual Studio 2010 but also want to install SQL Server Management Studio

I ve found that the command line is my friend in these situations   I installed the SQL Server 2012 Enterprise Management Tools  including Management Studio  off the DVD  mounted ISO actually   without installing anything else using this command   e  setup exe  Q  IACCEPTSQLSERVERLICENSETERMS  ACTION install  FEATURES Tools   Run the command prompt with elevated privileges   And be patient  as it has to unpack the installation files   Don t try to install the MSI files directly  as you lose the dependency checking packaged with the main installer   Again  this is to install the full version off the Enterprise or Developer media  if you have it  and do not wish to settle for the free Express edition

Full or quot Complete Management Studio quot  as opposed to  quot Express quot   I was very confused at a perceived lack of Management Studio on a newly provisioned SQL Server 2012 SP1 standard and enterprise edition on Azure running on Windows Server 2012  Normally it would be found from the Start Button Shortcuts or at least in C  Program Files somewhere  Eventually  I located C  SQLServer 11 0 Full  the image install path - executed and confirmed Management Studio was in fact installed by default even although it could not been seen via Add Remove Programs  In short  if you provision an SQL Server 2012 VM on Windows Server 2012 on Azure simply run PowerShell and then enter ssms exe to access Management Studio  C  Program Files  x86  Microsoft SQL Server 110 Tools Binn ManagementStudio ssms exe

On the Official SQL Server 2012 ISO that s for download  just navigate to  x64 Setup   or  x86 Setup  and you will find  sql ssms msi    It s only about 60 MB  and since it s an  MSI you can probably provision it to be installed automatically  say for a large lab or classroom environment
