Is it possible to run SQL Server Management Studio Express from CD without installing it on the computer?
I need it sometimes to provide support for the client but do not want to install/uninstall it.
If you’re doing basic support, you can simply use SQLCMD to run queries/procs. Other than that I don’t think there is any way to run it without installing it. There are a few questions on SO about alternatives to Management Studio that you may be able to install on a cd/key though.
