I recently had some problems with my VS 2008, and was recommended to reinstall. To make sure that the reinstall would solve my problems, i manually uninstalled everything that could have to do with VS and SQL Server (I had the 2008 Express edition installed).
Now when I reinstall SQL Server and Visual Studio, the Server Explorer in VS is dead. When I click the menu option "View\Server Explorer", I get an error message in the Output window reading:
The Visual Studio Explorers and Designers Package ({8D8529D3-625D-4496-8354-3DAD630ECC1B}) did not load because of previous errors. For assistance, contact the package vendor. To attempt to load this package again, type 'devenv /resetskippkgs' at the command prompt.
I run the suggested command, but when I try again I get the exact same error message.
How do I solve this? As I work with the Entity Framework, it is crucial that VS can connect to my database... Any help is very much appreciated!
After looking back and forth over the internet, coming across a lot of different answers, i finally managed to get this working. This was my solution:
Close all open instances of Visual Studio.
Open the Command Prompt in an Administrator context by navigating to Start\All Programs\Accessories, right-clicking Command Prompt and choosing Run as Administrator.
Navigate to the install path of VS2008 - in my case (default on Vista x64) it was **C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 9.0\Common7\IDE**
Run the command devenv /setup. It takes a little while, but be patient.
Start Visual Studio.
After following these steps, the setup is reset to default, so you'll have to reconfigure all startup options, fonts for the text editors etc. This could possibly be helped by running devenv /resetskippkgs instead, however it did not on my machine.
I've had this issue with Visual Studio 2008 as well. Running the devenv commandline statements did not help me though. I basically had to live with it until Visual Studio 2008 Service Pack 1 came out. Since installing Service Pack 1, I haven't had any problems with the Server Explorer.
Run "devenv /setup" as described above. Now, start Visual Studio without opening any solution or project file. If Server Explorer opens at this point, delete all Data Connections and Servers from there. Now, exit and restart Visual Studio. Then, open the solution or project file and the error be gone. This worked for me.

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'm having trouble with the debugger when trying to run a simple SSIS project involving importing a small sample CSV file into SQL Server.
I have searched StackOverflow with "debugger error Microsoft.DataTransformationServices.VsIntegration" and looked at all the search results.
It looks like someone else had the same issue with VS2015 about a year ago, but it never got resolved.
Microsft SQL Server Data Tools for Visual Studio 2015 giving debugging error
I've tried looking at the Event Viewer and generated Visual Studio Logs but there's nothing there.
I get 2 error messages when I try to execute the SSIS job.

I had a lot of trouble getting SSDT installed and working with Visual Studio 2017 and had to resort to the solution here to get it working.
SSDT installation issue (Failed to execute EXE package.)
Has anyone come across this issue and manage to overcome it?
In the meantime, I will try reinstalling the packages in the payload folder and see if that will fix this issue.
Excuse my necromancy
I know this is an old-ish question, but there are still enough people out there that haven't transitioned to VS 2019 yet for it to be relevant. I ran into this problem again for the second time, but it was a very long time in between occurrences. I completely forgot what the issue and solutions were.
Long answer
I have documented it all here.
Short answer
Here is the short version of what I documented:
Don't rush to uninstall/reinstall Visual Studio 2017
Very carefully read the blue box on the VS 2017 SSDT download page. This is critical.
Download SSDT for Visual Studio 2017
Run the installer and pay attention to the installer to see if it warns you about older extensions or installers that may exist already. Follow the instructions provided.
Assuming you have this problem, close the installer.
Uninstall the Visual Studio SSIS, SSRS and SSAS extensions (VSIX)
Run the SSDT installer - make sure it is warning free
Proceed with the installation
This should work and solve the problem, but this is a complex issue so I cannot make a guarantee. This has worked for me twice now on two entirely separate machines (work and home).
I did able to solve the issue with SQL server 2016 and Visual studio 2015 and respective SSDT 2015. I made sure I install every time as administrator (Right click on EXE and Run as Administrator).
I followed these steps:
I uninstalled all SQL Server Management Studio, SQL Server 2017, Visual Studio 2017 with SSDT.
Deleted the folders
C:\Users\me\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\14.0
C:\Users\me\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\VisualStudio\14.0
Installed SQL Server 2016 (as administrator)
Installed SQL Server Management Studio latest version (as administrator)
Installed Visual Studio 2015 (for me VS 2015 gave some missing DLL and I did repair - it started working fine)
Finally I installed Visual Studio Data Tools for 2015.
Please find the exes for installing VS2015, SSDT-2015 and SQL Server 2016 from here and you can also download them from official sites through search.
and SSMS from here
I hope this will be useful to someone.
I solved this issue by filling in the required fields in the Execute SQL Task. I was missing the value in the SQL Statement field.
The other way I got rid of this error is to set the "DelayValidation" property from False to True. But that is only a workaround until you fix the real issue.
This page was also helpful.

DelayValidation <-- find this property in Control Flow tasks
ValidateExternalMetadata <-- find this property in Data Flow tasks
I was using VS2019 for SSIS. Just go to Debug and use option: start without debugging.
If you have to see the error where it gets failed then read logs coming in command prompt.
Please, this is driving me crazy.
SSMS was working fine. But yesterday I tried to open it and it now shows a message that reads
SSMS has stopped working, a problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available
I have googled around some solutions without avail, including uninstalling RedGate software, checking the integrity of .NET Framework installation, running as administrator and even removing and installing SSMS again. Nothing works. It just wont run.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
You can take a look at windows event log and see if you find any additional information about the failure/crash and then proceed from there.
In Event Viewer, application log and system log contains errors, warnings and information about applications running on your system.
Looking at them may give your additional information about the crash.
This issue happens in both SSMS 17 and 18, so I am listing both answers to help both.
Step1:
//For SSMS 17
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 17\Common7\IDE\CommonExtensions\Platform\Microsoft.VisualStudio.MinShell.Interop.pkgdef
//For SSMS 18
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 18\Common7\IDE\CommonExtensions\Platform\Microsoft.VisualStudio.MinShell.Interop.pkgdef
Rename .pkgdef extension to something else. Or remove the file.
Step2:
Delete Registry Key (created at SSMS 18 or SSMS17 at Startup using the .pkgdef file mentioned above):
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SQL Server Management Studio\18.0_IsoShell_Config\RuntimeConfiguration\dependentAssembly\bindingRedirection\{8BC7AF31-B6DA-4B97-8B36-F0500DECB147}
17.6 is only in preview at the moment. Stick with 17.5 until it's released
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.
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
