Hi, I installed a new instance of SQL2008 on my machine, because i need my
SQL2005 still runnig and make a look on SQL 2008.
after finishing the installation i could not get any feature except the
configuration manager, and from the installtion center i found "how to add
feature to existing installation"
but i says "must be running from command line, refere to books on line", i
downloaded the books on line trying to help on this but could not found a
good help...

could someone help me on How to add feature to this installation like
management studio , analysis services and proformance tools ?

I suggest you to take a look at the Readme in the SQL Server 2008 package.
There, you'll see that it does not allow you to run SQL Server 2008 and
other versions of SQL Server side by side. SQL Server 2008' s engine runs
however you can not install SQL Server 2008' s Management Tools like SSMS.

If you want to install SQL Server 2008' s Management Tools then you'll need
to install them on another system that has no SQL Server 2005 nor others'
Management Tools installed on it.
