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?
The SQL Server 2014 Management Studio answer
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:
Reinstalling the VS 2010 Shell from here: https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/older-downloads/isolated-shell/
Try opening SSMS again. If it still gives the error, then:
Run Repair in SQL Server (2014) Setup
The SQL Server 2016 Management Studio answer
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.
I just solved the issue :
SSMS depends on VS 2010 and by uninstalling it this error occurred.
There is a folder named 1033_enu in my server installation pakage
Inside that i found a folder VSS i.e Visual studio shell
and inside that VVS setup.
i just run this setup and it solved the problem for me. Thank you
For SSMS 2016 (at least v16.5.3) delete the following folder from the registry and restart the app:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\SQL Server Management Studio\13.0_Config
The SQL Server 2017 Management Studio answer
SSMS 17.1 also depends on Visual Studio 2015 shell (isolated). I had to repair the Shell to get SSMS to work. In case someone is looking for VS 2015 Shell: LINK
If you cannot find the installer using the above link, the SSMS 17.x installer HERE includes the VS 2015 Shell.
Scott Hanselman has also conveniently included a link to every (>= 2008 R2) Express and SSMS version here: LINK
I had this same issue happen to me when I was stripping my machine of everything Microsoft to refresh my system with 2016-2017 versions of Microsoft products.. First time doing this so I deleted the Visual Studio shell and installed everything 2017 except the 2015 VS shell (not sure if 2017 is out), here was my mistake.
To solve.. first off, make sure you have the Visual Studio Isolated Shell installed. Certain versions of SSMS need a specific version of the shell. My situation called for VS Shell 2015 with my SSMS 2016..
Just installing and repairing the Shell didn't help me completely fix the error. What helped me was deleting a key from my Registry Editor. Run the command regedit from anywhere on your machine and then find:
'HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/SQL Server Management Studio/*shellversion*_Config'
Right-click and delete this folder/key. For SSMS 2016 I deleted 13.0_Config.. Right away I was able to open SSMS as usual.
In order to free up some space on my disk, I had uninstalled some programs after which I started getting this error.
I followed all the solutions here, but it didn't fix my problem.
For me, after installing the Visual Studio Shell, I had to delete a key from my registry by following the steps here. Then finally my SSMS started working again.
Quoting from the page:
Start regedit.exe
Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\SQL Server Management Studio
Delete 13.0_Config
Restart ssms.exe
All the answers here didn't work for me (SQL Server 2014).
What worked was:
1) Uninstall the Visual Studio 2010 Shell using official installer (not via Programs and Features). The file VSIsoShell.exe can be downloaded here:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=1366
2) Once uninstalled, run SQL Server Installation and hit Repair
Try running SSMS as administrator! After repairing & re-installing multiple components, in the end it was just the security level of my account.
I resolved the problem with SQL Management Studio 2016 by running the VS setup, selecting "Modify" and then installing Extensibility Tools Update 3. After that I just ran SQL Management Studio 2016 and it reset VS Isolated Shell
For all versions of SQL Server, this can be fixed safely with no loss of data including any plugins that may be installed and their data.
This is a common bug, and the solution in all versions of SQL Server is to repair the 'Microsoft Visual Studio 20xx Shell (Isolated)' program installation, which takes about 30 minutes to run unattended.
To perform the repair, please complete the following steps:
Close all instances of Visual Studio.
Press the Windows key.
Type 'Programs'.
Click 'Add or Remove Programs' from the list that appears.
Type 'Shell' into the Search box that appears.
Click 'Microsoft Visual Studio 20xx Shell (Isolated)'*
Click Modify (If greyed out then click Uninstall).
In the window that appears, click 'Repair'.
Wait 30mins or so for repair to complete.
Restart machine.
'Microsoft Visual Studio 20xx Shell (Isolated)' will now be repaired and SQL Server Management Studio should open as normal.
* If there are multiple version(s) of 'Microsoft Visual Studio 20xx Shell (Isolated)' installed, then repair the latest one first, working backwards through versions until the correct program is repaired. Be sure to make a note of the version that fixed your version of SQL Server for future reference as it will not change until smss or vs is upgraded.
I have the same issue after using the custom VS2015 uninstallation tool and installing the VS2017. Repair or reinstall of the SSMS 17.3 does not solve the issue.
To resolve it open the Windows Control panel, select the Programs and Features. Select the Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 Shell (Isolated) from the list and click Change. Then click Repair in the VS setup window. On setup completed ignor the warnings about some newer components already installed. Click Close and thats it! SSMS starts perfect! Hope this save someone's time.
I downloaded VSIsoShell.exe but could not install it. When i deep dive in to error logs the reason is newer version of visual studio exists on the system. I uninstalled vs2017 community then installation of VSIsoShell is successful
Download and Install Visual Studio 2015 Isolated Shell.
You can further read the details of this Redistributable Package from Microsoft Visual Studio
2015 Redistributable Package
You can further Download this Package from this link
After Installing this package, Please run SSMS for SQL SERVER 2016. It actually works for me!
Just in case none of the registry edits or software reinstalls mentioned in the other answers work for you, I was having this issue due to anti-virus. In this case it was Crowdstrike, but others can cause it as well.
Try disabling your AV to test, and if that's the culprit, put an exception in for SSMS 2014/2016.
None of above solutions worked for me , Link in the accepted answer is not working.
So I tried repairing MSSQL 2014 from Setup , This will install Visual Studio Shell which it depends on.
SQL Server Installation Center -> Maintenance -> Repair -> Select the Instance
Next , You will be able to run ssms without an issue.
Hope that works,
I finally got this to work - open up
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\120\Tools\Binn\RSConfigTool.exe"
then used the repair tools in there, rather than from the control panel install programs (repair).
This seemed to run through reinstalling of files and afterwards everything worked great! I was tearing my hair out!
I uninstalled already existing microsoft visual studio 2010 Shell(isolated) -ENU
Then did repair
To do repair please follow below path : SQL Server Installation Center -> Maintenance -> Repair
Note: None of the above worked for me.This is only worked

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.
SxSTrace detail:

What I did for solving the problem:
reinstalled SQL Server
reinstalled Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio
updated at recent version of .NET Framework
reinstalled Visual C++ Redistributable
And I still get that same error.
What should I do?
you should install an earlier version. I had the same error and I installed version 18.5 and it worked just fine.
https://learn.microsoft.com/pt-br/sql/ssms/release-notes-ssms?view=sql-server-ver15#185
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.
I did the following to solve this error.
Copied all the files and folders from the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 18\ from a working machine and pasted on the server which was having issue.
Once the copying was completed, I it started appearing in Add or remove programs # control panel.
Post copy SSMS started working normally.
I removed the following Sql related ones from the control panel.
Then i followed these steps
https://stackoverflow.com/a/66085979/16391774
I reinstalled the same version (at present latest version v18.12.1 and i used it version) and my problem was solved.
Uninstalling did not work.
Upgrading (Installing newer version or same version) did not work.
What worked:
delete or rename “C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 18”
delete registry manually or via .reg file
reg DELETE “HKLM\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio” /reg:32)
Afterwards, installing SSMS worked without a flaw and it started.

I have received the following error while installing MSSQL 2017 on Windows 2012 R2.

You must install SQL Server first before installing Visual Studio 2017.
If you have already installed Visual Studio 2017, do not worry, just follow the steps below:
Uninstall the Microsoft Visual C++ 2017 Redistributable (x86) and (x64)
Then install SQL Server.
Do not forget to select "Database Engine Services"
Change "Startup Type" of SQL Server Browser from "Disabled" to "Automatic"
The installation will be done without any problems:
Then reinstall the Microsoft Visual C++ 2017 Redistributable (x86) and (x64)
This Error means
1-Another version of this program is already installed
2-Visual Studio 2017 Is In Installing Level And Not Complete
3-Visual Studio 2017 installed (Not For All)
If You Have Other Version . Remove Or Update The SSMS.
If Your Visual Studio In Installing Level. Wait To Complete And Then Try To Setup
Else
To fix the issue, use the following workarounds:
Repair the x64 version of Microsoft Visual C++ 2017 Redistributable from Add or remove programs by using following steps:
Open Add or remove programs.
Find and select Microsoft Visual C++ 2017 Redistributable (x64). Click the Change button.
Click the Repair button.
If you encounter this issue when installing TFS, you can start VC_redist.x64.exe from the TFS installation files, and then select repair.
Hope This Help You To Fix

Do you have Visual Studio 2017 installed in your computer? If so, try uninstalling it, then install SQL Server, and reinstall Visual Studio. I had the same problem today when installing MSSQL 2017, and solved it like that.
I read in some sites you can also try only uninstalling Microsoft Visual C++ 2017 Redistributable (86x) and (64x), but I didn't try this solution, so I'm not sure if it works. It's still worth a shot though, as it's easier than uninstalling the whole Visual Studio.
I am trying to install SQL Server 2017 Express on Windows 10 and it is failing.
Here is the details it shows me after failure:
Action required:
Use the following information to resolve the error, and then try the setup process again.
Feature failure reason:
An error occurred for a dependency of the feature causing the setup process for the feature to fail.

I am Windows 10 and have Visual Studio 2017 installed.
I'm thinking the problem could be I installed SQL Server Management Studio 2017 before I installed SQL Server.
I have the same setup at home but I installed SQL Server first and then SSMS and everything works fine.
The other difference is at home in the installation dialog it says something the affect that C++ Redistribuble is already installed but at work where it is failing it says it is to be installed in hte list of components.
The problem is likely that there's a newer version of the Visual C++ Redistributable than SQL Server is trying to install, e.g., from Visual Studio 2017. So another way to address this, if you don't need the latest C++ redistributable, is to go to Add or Remove Programs and uninstall all references to Visual C++ 2017 Redistributable. After this, the SQL Server installation should proceed without errors.
I had this error before all I did was(using Win10 x64):
Go to control panel-> Select Programs -> Programs and Features -> Search "c++"
-> In the list select Visual C++ 2017(or your version error) Redistributable -> right click select "change" -> select repair.
After that I was able to continue and successfully installed SQL Server Express 2017.
Note:
Some requires uninstall and reinstall again therefore if the above procedure doesn't work just try reinstalling it.
I figured it out for my environment.
If you have Visual Studio 2017, go back into the installer and install the "ATL C++" workload. Now when you go through the SQL Server 2017 install it will say C++ already installed and the installation will be successful.
I got the solution :
remove VC++ 2017.
download VC++ 2015 from here
install VC++ 2015
install SQL Server 2017
install SSMS 2017
I also had this problem. I just repair the program Microsoft Visual C++ 2017 Redistributable (x86) - 14.16.27029 from Add Remove Program and setup run without any error.
I also found running the repair of the Microsoft Visual C++ redistributable corrected the issue and was able to install SQL 2017 RTM Cumulative Update (CU) 23 KB5000685
Uninstalling the following from Programme and Features option fixed my issue.
Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable
MSSQL 2017 installation will automatically add it once the installation is completed.
First make sure you haven't installed SSMS before,
First install SQLSERVER then SSMS.
To resolve this error just uninstall MS visual C++ Redistributable v13/v15/v17 as they get installed already when you install SSMS before.
Run the setup again it will continue installation.
I have just upgraded to Visual Studio 2017 Professional and SSMS 17.
I can access my servers and databases through Visual Studio 17's SQL Server Object Explorer but when I try to execute SSMS outside of the VS IDE it tells me "Cannot find one or more components. Please reinstall the application". I have reinstalled SSMS 17 twice and still cannot run it.
The SSMS executable is at:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\140\Tools\Binn\ManagementStudio\Ssms.exe.
I get the same problem on another machine running VS 2017 Community.
What is causing the message "Cannot find one or more components. Please reinstall the application" when I try to execute SSMS outside of Visual Studio? What do I need to do to execute SSMS outside of the VS IDE?
I had similar problem and in my case it was due to a corrupt Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 Shell (Isolated) which SSMS 17 requires to run outside the VS IDE.
To fix this, I had to do the following:
Uninstall Microsoft Visual C++ 2017 Redistributable (both the x64 and x86). This is to ensure that step (2) will succeed as the repair process of the prerequisites might fail in some cases if newer versions have been installed.
Repair Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 Shell (Isolated) (or reinstall using https://download.microsoft.com/download/C/9/C/C9CA8400-20AA-4488-92A3-F3F6D978AD81/vs_isoshell.exe).
Reinstall Microsoft Visual C++ 2017 Redistributable (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=746572 and https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=746571) if removed earlier.
Here is a quick fix for cannot find one or more components in SQL Server
Follow these steps:
Run Add or remove programs (Type into run box)
Repair Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 Shell (Isolated) (Modify > Repair)
The installation process will report that it was unable to install some of the Visual C++ executables as they are already present; this message can be ignored, the repair still fixes the problem reported in the question.
For SSMS 2017 delete this folder from the registry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\SQL Server Management Studio\14.0_Config
It would be better to export the keys before deleting them.
Same steps as Roberto's solution above - but updated links:
1. Uninstall:
Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2019 Redistributable (x86) - 14.xxxx
Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2019 Redistributable (x64) - 14.xxxx
2. Repair or Download/Install:

In my case, I accidentally uninstall Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 Shell (Isolated) and I got the error "SQL Server Management Studio 17 cannot find one or more components". even though I recover or Repair Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 Shell (Isolated), the same error was there.
The only thing I did was reinstall Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 Shell (Isolated). I did not Uninstall Microsoft Visual C++ 2017 Redistributable (both the x64 and x86).
this worked for me.
I'm running SSMS 18 and every time KB5014770 installs, I get this error. If I uninstall this upgrade (KB5014770) it starts working again.
Remove every version installed of visual C++, then run the repair on the Visual Studio 2015 Shell (isolated). Once completed, open the SQL Server Management Studio and it will work.
In my case, it was corrupted because the drive that it was installed on originally was removed as part of a drive consolidation exercise. That is to say, it was installed on E:\ but E:\ no longer existed.
I managed to resolve by using VSubst (https://www.ntwind.com/software/utilities/visual-subst.html) and creating a fake drive pointing back to C:\ (run as admin) where there was a "fresh" install of 2015 after downloading the VS 2015 ISO.
I then re-ran the uninstaller, which fails, then inside the log file, on the first line is the path to the "old installer". Now if you run a {PathInLog}\vs_isoshell.exe /uninstall /force with the E:\ created it will force uninstall.
I had same issue and solved very easily. Normally SSMS will look for integrated application. This integrated is installed by default during SSMS setup installation.
I can say your error "Cannot find one or more components. Please reinstall the application" caused because some application is uninstalled or missing by anyhow. To open SSMS will look for some connected integrated application.
Please follow these steps:
search "shell" in Control Panel\Programs\Programs and Features
uninstall any "shell" application
Download from Microsoft below application.
"en_visual_studio_2015_shell_isolated_x86_dvd_XXXXXXXX"
Run the application and allow all application to install during the process.
Once everything is done. Restart your system.
I installed SQL Server Management Studio 2016. When I tried to open it gives this error. I tried uninstall and again install. Also I uninstall all Visual Studio and SQL Server and reinstall all of them but problem still continue.
How can I solve this issue?
In my case, the issue was with broken VS2015 isolated shell installation.
I resolved it by downloading and re-installing this shell from Visual Studio Isolated Shell page https://learn.microsoft.com/en-ca/visualstudio/extensibility/visual-studio-isolated-shell (which should eventually lead you to http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=615451 - after filling out the survey).
Note:
I had following warnings after the VS1205 shell install. But that
did not matter, since the existing version of these components was
higher.
I had no VS IDEs installed on my computer prior to
installing SSMS 16.5.3 (or 17.1). Both had the same issue. For now I
am using only SSMS 16.5.3, since I do not have a need for 17.1
I completely remove all microsoft application and re install sql server 2016 and the reinstall ssms and ssms worked and finally I install vs17 now its working.
Problem is about to "Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 Shell(Isolated)"
We need to install vs after ssms.
Happened to me on SSMS v17.9.1.
I've repaired Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 Shell (Isolated) and the problem went away.
According to MSDN documentaion:-
An unexpected error has prevented Visual Studio from starting. This error appears when one of the following items occurs:
The integrated development environment (IDE) was not able to load Msxml3.dll.
The IDE was not able to load Mso.dll.
The IDE was not able to load DTE.olb.
The license key for Visual Studio was not created during setup.
Script blocking is turned on and not allowing scripting code to execute.
Setup for the .NET Framework, a component required by Visual Studio, failed to generate a valid native image for mscorlib.dll.
The Klez virus is present on your computer
And the article is introduced specific procedures to correct this error.
Hope helps.
