How do you install SQL Server Managment Studio Version 17.8.1?

SQL Server Management Studio does not install when you install SQL Server 2017 (also in some previous versions). It is a separate install.

Kindly follow my previous post  to download the executable program for the installation.

Make sure you are not running SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS), if you are, close it.

Double clicking the execcuatable begins the installation as per the following screen shots. It may take a while (20 to 30 mts).


Close. Close SSMS and double click the executable to begin.


 Click Install.


It is done after a wait (20 to 30 minutes)


SSMS v17.8.1 and other components.
