Installation problem - can't find startup program

I installed SQL Server 2005.

In the add/remove programs are all the programs visible. But when I use "Start -> All programs -> Microsoft SQL Server 2005", there are only 5 configuration tools, no management studio.

What is going wrong?

Where can I find the executable that start up SQL Server 2005?

Hi,

you either installed SQL Server Express which does not come with a graphical administration surface (but you can either install the SQL Server Management Express Studio as an add-on or install the SQL Server Express Adavnced Edition from scratch which includes everything) or you deselected the Client tools option for any non-Express edition.

The tools for Express can be download from:
