On a client machine on which were already Visual Studio 2005 and SQL Server 2005 Express we wanted to install SQL Server Management Studio to be able to connect to a SQL Server 2005 Enterprise seveur. Unfortunately the installation of client tools we return an error message asking us to run the setup with the attribute SKUUPGRADE = 1 but it did not work.
Finally the solution to this problem is to go to the Control Panel, select uninstall SQL Server 2005 and then select only the components of the workstation. Then just run / Tools / Setup / SqlRun_Tools.msi on SQL Server 2005 CD to install the client tools.
