SSMS doesnt launch

  • i had installed DB engine for sql 2017 post that i installed management studio 2017, Now when i type SSMS it doesnt open Management studio but i could open the same inside program files. Any suggestions.

  • Did you actually install SSMS? The weird thing about the newer installers from MSFT is that all the pieces are separate. If you search for it, can you find this file on your computer... (SSMS.exe)

    e.g.

    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 18\Common7\IDE\Ssms.exe"

  • Is the SSMS installation location in your system path?  What version of Windows are you using?  It might be easier to put a shortcut in your Start menu somewhere.

  • I can find the file open it and work but the problem is when i type SSMS in start- > run it doesn't take me to management studio
