Can I just use Management Studio for now?

I don't have a SQL dev box to install a full blown CTP on, but I was wondering if it is possible to somehow only install Managememnt Studio on my client to work on SQL 2000 servers?

I downloaded the June CTP and tried to run setup on my client, hoping it would work similarly to the SQL 2000 install and auto recognize that the machine wasn't a server and just install the client tools, but setup generates a WMI error and closes down.

Anyone know if this is possible? I would really like to start using Management Studio to get used to it...

ThanksIt is possible to only install SSMS but you are going to have to install >net Frameworks B2, also you can not use it in production and SSMS does not have full support for SQl2k (can't manage services and some other stuff).
