I installed SQL Server Management Studio and it worked fine. After that I updated my Visual Studio from 2010 to 2013 Express edition, now it is not working with this error message :
Cannot find one or more components. Please re install the application
I re-installed it but still same issue. Any suggestion?
Note: If you do not have SQL Server 2012 installed on your machine, select ENU\x64\SQLEXPRWT_x64_ENU.exe (or ENU\x86\SQLEXPRWT_x86_ENU.exe for 32-bit) to download and install both SQL Server 2012 and Management Studio in a bundle. After the download is completed, run the .exe file as Administrator.
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.
Run the Microsoft Installation Cleanup Utility to remove the rogue client tools still existing on the server, which are not listed in Add or Remove Programs. Reinstall the client components again. This time, the installer should perform a proper install of the Management Tools, including SQL Server Management Studio.
SSMS 2014 relies upon the Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Shell (Isolated) Redistributable Package. If this is uninstalled, SSMS will produce the error message 'Cannot find one or more components. Please re install the application'. This can be corrected by:
SSMS 2016 relies upon the Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 Shell (Isolated) Redistributable Package. If this is uninstalled, SSMS will produce the error message 'Cannot find one or more components. Please re install the application'. This can be corrected by reinstalling VS 2015 or by installing the Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 Shell (Isolated) Redistributable Package.
