SSMS 17.9.1 crashes on “connect”












2















I installed SSMS 17.9.1.



When I start SSMS it crashes when I try to connect to the database server.



See this 5 second video
https://vimeo.com/302442420/2ed86b92d8



My only action is to click on the "connect" button.
Then the object explorer appears quickly followed by SSMS shutdown.



How can I get SSMS to work properly ?

  • Please check ssms logs. Have a look at this page docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/tools/configuration-manager/… for log location.

I asked the same question on the Microsoft Developer Network.



This is the solution that worked:




  1. Uninstall SSMS

  2. Uninstall Visual Studio 2015 IsoShell

  3. Uninstall Microsoft Visual C++ 2015(or 2017 if you are using it) Redistributable. Uninstall both x86 and x64 if they're on your computer.

  4. Reinstall Visual Studio 2015 IsoShell

  5. Reinstall SSMS

  6. Reinstall Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable


It took a long time!
