Used file called SQLManagementStudio_x86_EN<wbr />U.exe &nbsp;on a Windows 7 32 bit computer.<br />
<br />
Warning message says I must apply SQL Server 2008 Service Pack 1 (SP1) before you run SQL Server 2008 on this version of Windows.<br />
<br />
But I am only interested in the management tools so I can connect to an existing SQL database on another computer (server).<br />
<br />
Installation says it was successful, but from this point I don't see how to start the program.<br />
<br />
Please advise...
