I was installing SQL Server 2005 client tools today. You won't believe how difficult that can be. First, it's pretty time-consuming! Secondly, you might run into a few kinks, as written here.
If you ever had any part of any SQL Server 2005 item installed before, you won't be given the option to install. The system believes it's already installed. So you'll end up uninstalling anything you had before, even if you had only installed a demo or some minor analysis tool. Then, try again.
This is somewhat documented here and many other places on the net.

So after all that, if you get a message about the Transaction Manager is not available, you might be feeling pretty frustrated. Luckily, the fix was quite easy and documented at the link below:
