You might want visit the Windows 7 forum at Microsoft, one thing to look for is to make sure that is no other things like sql 2008 installed, some components from different versions of sql are not compatible.

Are you sure that you are installing the full version or is it the Express version? If it is the express version then the management tools don't install by default. Go to http://www.microsoft.com/sqlserver/2005/en/us/express.aspx and scroll about 1/3 the way down the page and look for a link to the management tools.
