Question : Sql Express 2008 Client connectivity tools

I am trying to install the client connectivity tools on a win 2008 r2 standard terminal server but the option in setup is not there. Management tools, database etc. options are there but not the client connectivity tools.

Computer setup is as follows:

Server1 - running Win 2008 standard r2
Sql Express 2008

Server2 - virtual machine on server1 running win 2008 standard r2

trying to load the client tools on server2 but does not show in options during setup. I have tried loading the many different available versions thinking maybe I had the wrong version. Are the client tools called something else now? If not what would cause them not to show in the list of options during setup?

Any help would be appreciated.
