Cant find SMSS

After installing the evaluation edition of MSSQL Enterprise 2005 I can not find SSMS. I know I installed the client tools upon installation. It's not showing up on in the menu, where is the location for the executable file.

Is SSMS even distriubted with the evaluation edition?

If not, is it possible to download it from somwhere...

Did you get any warnings while setup cheked your computer configuration?

Did you specify client tools installation during setup?

P.S. This question suits http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowForum.aspx?ForumID=95&SiteID=1 forum better.

SSMS is part of the evaluation edition. To see a report of what's installed go to Add/Remove Programs, select the entry for "Microsoft SQL Server 2005", select "Change", then select "Report". Under "Common Components" you'll want to see something like this:

Workstation Components
[Version: 9.00.1399.06 Edition: Evaluation Edition Patch level: 9.00.1399.06 Language: English (United States)]

If you see this and still don't think you have SSMS installed, close the report. On the "Change" dialog you should see an entry for Workstation Components, select it and press "Next". This will launch the component in maintenance mode. Just follow the dialogs. When you get to the feature tree be sure to select Management Tools under the Client Components node.

SSMS is installed to %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\Binn\VSShell\Common7\IDE\sqlwb.exe
