        Oh, is that what the difference is?  (Well, I assume that is but   
   one of them.)   
      
        I thought I had installed a plain installation in the past and   
   gotten SSMS.  Maybe, an SP did SSMS installation for me.   
      
        It is so hard to keep the versions straight.  Two of the versions   
   that I have downloaded looked to be the same size so I checked them.   
   They were the same size and differed in only *four* bytes in over 100   
   MB.
