install SQL Profiler for SQL Server Express

Question

I am not sure what I did while installing SQL server express 2008 but sql profiler is not on my machine. is there a way to get that separately? my machine is not running on a server OS.

Answer 1

The Microsoft SQL Server profiler is only available with commercial versions of SQL Server. However, there are third party tools for helping to profile a SQL Server Express instance:

• SQL Server 2005/2008 Express Profiler
• SQL Express Profiler
