Hi,

I need to shortly deploy the SQL 2012 client to a large number of users - i'd rather not make the full ISO available to them.

Is there an easier way to give them just the client tools ?

TIA,

MJW

it looks to me that on my 2012 DVD, you could simply grab the 58 meg MSI found here:

{YourDrive} X:\x64\Setup\sql_ssms.msi, right?

i just tested this on a virtual Win7/64 installation:

sql_ssms.msi failed for me, and so did sql_tools.msi. it might be failing due to prerequeisites, i'll check that next.
