Only Configuration tool downloaded, why?

Hi,

First of all, I am very new on SQL server express.

Today I downloaded and installed the SQL server express (from www.microsoft.com/downloads), but what I got is only: Configuration tool, (I can see from: Start -> Programms -> Microsoft SQL server 2005->Configuration tool).

I didn't get SQL Server management Studio express, SAL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio, and Documentation and Tutorials.

I don't know where I did wrong, please help.

Thank you.

James

You need to download the version with 'Advanced Services' in order to get the client tools. And you should also download the Books Online reference materials.
