How can I check if SQL Server Management Studio is installed?

How can I check if SQL Server Management Studio is installed?

[Start] \ [All Program] \ [Microsoft SQL Server 2005] \ [SQL Server Management Studio]

It is either there or not.

The default install does NOT include the client tools. If if is not listed, then using the install media, run Setup again, and select the Client Tools.

Sorry.

How can I check programmatically if SQL Server Management Studio is installed?

Either look in this location

"{installLocation}\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\Binn\VSShell\Common7\IDE\sqlwb.exe"

or check this Registry entry using xp_regread

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Applications\sqlwb.exe
