We don't have any change log information yet for version 2008 of SQL Server Management Studio Express.Sometimes publishers take a little while to make this information available, so please check back in a few days to see if it has been updated.
I installed Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Full Package(64bit).BUT after that i see SQL Server Management Studio express installed(database Engine is SQL Server Express).In the other services such as intergration,Analysis,Reporting services are Full version.
So.. whats the error ? Can anyone direct me to install SQL Server Management Studio 2008 Full version
Sql Server 2008 Version Numbers
EDIT :In this first picture shows you normally my SQL Server Management Studio connects.(Only Connect using EXPRESS Version)
In the second picture shows you the error.
But When i connect to INtergration services and other service i can login to full version using CHATHU-2 Server Instance

Stop your SQL Server Instance.SQL Server(SQLEXPRESS) & Start SQL Server(MSSQLSERVER)go there services.msc
TechGuyTechGuyManagement Studio is a stand alone application, so it does not matter that it states Express.Did you Install anything prior to SQL like SharePoint or Visual Studio?If you did that would be why you see express. SharePoint and Visual Studio install SQL Express upon their install.
It looks as though you only have to remove the SQLEXPRESS from the server name textbox or click on it's drop down arrow, browse for servers and see what is there.
You could also run services.msc, look for SQL Server services and see what is there, named instances are normally in brackets.
