i could not install SQL Server Management Studio.
The solution Microsoft offers is here , probably it takes one too many hours
My own solution is
- install Visual Studio 2008 Sp 1 , completely uninstall Visual Studio 2008. never ever use/install for home environment again.
- install Sql Server 2008 Sp 1, reinstall it using original package.
- Install Visual Studio 2010 RC
It would give so many errors during installation, dont count them on, just ignore
