MS SQL Management Studio-startup error

[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 could not be completed"

After the installation is complete, the message indicates that all components have been installed successfully.

Please help me in solving this problem.

So the Studio is giving you this error and then crashing and not showing up? If so then maybe one of the components that it depends on is corrupt. It could also be a setting that it relies on. Check your event viewer and copy the details as text and paste them here so we can see what it says.
