   I have the same problem not having a tools option to remove, but I also do not have an item called SQL Server 2005 Management Tools Express item. Could you have possibly have meant SQL Server 2005 Management Studio Express. When I try to uninstall this one it tells me Microsoft Sql Server 2005 Tools is dependent on it. Did you get that as well. Thanks for this posting, I think it will get me closer to an answer.

   I had to uninstall the SQL Server 2005 Management Tools, however when I installed the 2008 Management Tools I was still able to view the 2005 server and all the network server. Seems logical not to have two versions of the management tools after all.

   Hi, your solution worked for me!
   I´m just wondering what could be the impact of this step.

   I had the same as Leila (remove SQL Server Management Tools, 2005 is not mentioned), but afterwards the installation of SQL 2008 goes well …

   I had the same problem as the author above and removing “Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio” solved the problem.
