I get this error when I try to run Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio:
The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log or use the command-line sxstrace.exe tool for more detail.

Close the SSMS application (if it is running). On the computer, go to Control Panel > All Control Panel Items > Programs and Features. From the list of programs, right click SQL Server Management Studio and click Uninstall. Click Repair to begin the SSMS install repair.
Launch the SQL Server Setup program (setup.exe) from SQL Server installation media. After prerequisites and system verification, the Setup program will display the SQL Server Installation Center page. Click Maintenance in the left-hand navigation area, and then click Repair to start the repair operation.
Solution: Obtain a valid SQL Server License. The SQL Server Service will launch successfully. If the problem persists, contact Microsoft Support for help with their software.
you should install an earlier version. I had the same error and I installed version 18.5 and it worked just fine.

I had the same error with version 18.9.2. I don't know if it's related to the problem, but I firstly installed SSMS in Program Files and not in Program Files (x86).
First I have tried to repair the installation, with no success.
Then I have uninstalled SSMS, rebooted by PC, re-installed SSMS (this time in the default Program Files (x86) folder) and rebooted my PC again.
After these steps, I was able to start SSMS without errors.
