MS SQL Management Studio - error starting

[hardness]

Good day!

I downloaded and installed MS SQL server Express (Advanced) x64 on Windows server 2008 R2 SP1 x64. When you try to start MS SQL Management Studio, you receive the following error message: "the operation failed"

After the installation was complete, the message indicated that all components were installed successfully.

Please help me in solving this problem.

Hello @hardness, I would like to help you with problem. But I am going to need more info about the issue. Go ahead and search your Event Viewer for an error entry in the Application log. Once you find it you can right-click on it and copy the details to your clipboard. Then post them here so we all can figure this out.
