It can be bundled with Application and Database Development tools like Visual Studio and or embedded with an application that needs local databases.

  • This does not contain the database, but only the tools to manage SQL Server instances, including LocalDB, SQL Express, SQL Azure, full version of SQL Server 2014 Management Studio, etc. Use this if you already have the database and only need the management tools.
  Express with Advanced Services (SQLEXPRADV_Architecture_Language.exe)
