No Enterprise Manager after install

I've installed MSDE Release Candidate on XP Pro successfully and the server
starts. However, I can't find the Server Enterprise Manager anywhere. Help!
It does appear on the MMC and I don't have any SQL groups on my menu after
the install.
Hi
MSDE does not come with EM. All you have is OSQL, the command line tool.
Any reason you are using MSDE 2000 RC? That is no longer supported as it was
a beta.

No Default SQL Instance on Install?

Problem: When the application installs it requires SQL Express Server 2005. If it does not exist it will install it or rollback. -> continue installation -> When the form attempts to locate an SQL Instance on a machine that has not had SQL server or any components connected before it shows up as <null>. I need to have access to the server(s) instances in order to build the application database inside SQL. Am I using the wrong approach with SQLDMO? Is there adifferent method to access the installed SQL Express 2005 connection string?
Current code to locate SQL Instances:
try
{
////////////////////////////////////////
// Search and List SQL Server Instances
////////////////////////////////////////
//set cursor to thinking/hourglass
System.Windows.Forms.Cursor.Current = System.Windows.Forms.Cursors.AppStarting;
//begin
ArrayList aServers = new ArrayList();
SQLDMO.ApplicationClass acServers = new SQLDMO.ApplicationClass();
//loop through the servers found
for (int iServerGroupCount = 1; iServerGroupCount <= acServers.ServerGroups.Count; iServerGroupCount++)
{
for (int iServerCount = 1; iServerCount <= acServers.ServerGroups.Item(iServerGroupCount).RegisteredServers.Count; iServerCount++)
{
aServers.Add(acServers.ServerGroups.Item(iServerGroupCount).RegisteredServers.Item(iServerCount).Name);
}
}
//add the servers to the drop down box
if (aServers.Count < 1)
{
string NotExist = "<No Servers Found>";
cboServers.Items.Add(NotExist);

cboServers.SelectedIndex = 0;
btnSQLDataBaseCheckDB.Enabled = false;

}
else
{
cboServers.Items.AddRange(aServers.ToArray());
//select the first item in the array index to display
cboServers.SelectedIndex = 0;
}
}
catch (Exception ServerException)
{
MessageBox.Show(ServerException.Message);
}

Slightly stuck at the moment with this. Any tips or leads in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
sorry to double post. Found a relative link in the forums which may add some more insight to the problem, though certainly not solve it.

No BI Dev Studio after install of Dev edition

I recently installed the Developerâ's edition of SQL Server 2005 so I could
check out the report builder.
After installing on a XP Pro workstation, I looked and it doesnâ't appear to
have installed the Business Intelligence Developer Studio.
Is this not included in the Dev Edition?
Thanks in advance.Are you sure that you selected the option to install workstation components,
books online and development tools. If you did not, BIDS will not be
installed.

No "(local)" server name in servers list for SQL Server 2005

I have a new install of SQL SERVER 2005 on a new machine.
When I am using Visual Studio 2005 Server Explorer "Add connection" dialog
or MS Access ADE Connection "Data Link Properties", there is no (local)
entry in drop-down "server Name" list. However the actual server name is
listed and I can use it for successful connection.
My main problem is that I am trying to get from SourceSafe a big Access ADE
project and it complains that it is not able to connect to (local) server for
almost each form/report.
Is the "(local)" server removed in SQL SERVER 2005 by design or it is a
problem with my installation?
If it is a setup problem, how can I add (local) to the list of available
servers?
By the way,when I manually typed "(local)" server name, VS 2005 "add
connection" accepted it , but ADE Connection "Data Link Properties" reported
"Sql Server doesn't exist or access is denied"

I was able to fix the problem. ADE Connection "Data Link Properties" accepts
manually typed "(local)" after I changed the following:
1. In SQL Server 2005 Configuration Manager selected "SQL server 2005
Network Configuration/Protocols for MSSQLSERVER" and enabled "Tcp/IP".
Note that "SQL Native Client Configuration/Client Configuration" had already
"Tcp/IP" enabled.
2. Restarted SQL Server service.

newbies help 2 questions

There is 1 error when i tried to install msde into my window 2003 server web edition.
1. I use command prompt to enter c:\\sql2ksp3>setup SAPWD=aA1234567
the errors is "go to the control panel to install and configure system components"
How do i install ?

Sql client for 2003 server web edition
2. i tried to install sql client in window 2003 web edition but the msdn cd could not start after i double click on the setupsql.exe. I thought the sql client can be install but not the server on web edition ?I have solve Q1 above by using run the type in
Setup.exe /qb+ INSTANCENAME=NetSDK DISABLENETWORKPROTOCOLS=1 SAPWD=<YOUR SA PASSWORD
It seems you cannot double click on the setup.exe in the extracted folder and you cannot use the ms-dos command prompt becuase both return errors like,
"A strong SA password is required for security reason. Please us SAPWD switch to supplyt he same. Refer to readme for more details. Setup will now exits."
or
"Go to the control panel to install and configure system components"

Hope some one can help on Q2|||I think you can not install sql clinet tools on 2003 WE
