When im trying to launch SSMS-Setup-ENU.exe file nothing happens.
I can see the process starting and then disappear:
I read in some forums that for some people it worked if they moved the file to the desktop before running it as a administrator, but that made no difference for me.
This machine is just a few months old and is running windows 10.
Windows is up to date.
Please help me.
The issue is not 100% clear to me but I would probably do this in your case:
My user is an administrator.
Like i stated in the question I have tried to run the installation file from the desktop and I have not installed from a remote folder.
I have restarted my machine serveral times before and asking this qustion to no avail.
Hi @Johan Karlsson,
Please first make sure that you have downloaded SSMS from official web as shown below.
Secondly, it is not suggested to run the setup on one-driver folder.
At last, if this do not work, please re-start your machine and re-run the setup for a try.

I have downloaded the software from the official website.
The setup has not been run from a one-drive folder. As I stated the question I have run the program file from the desktop.
I have restarted the computer several times since then.
Hi @Johan Karlsson,
Please check the SSMS system requirement.
Try below methods to remove the temps and re-install SSMS.
open the register and remove "HKLM\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio" or execute via cmd (with admin rights):
reg DELETE “HKLM\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio” /reg:32
run install with admin rights
My computer is meeting the system requirements.
I have cleared the temp folder but no change.
I have none of those keys in my register so I cannot delete them.

Hello @Johan Karlsson,
Did you managed to resolve this issue? I have the same problem but in a VM (Windows Server 2016).
Please let me know if you have find the solution.

This issue I had on my new work computer. I had som other issues with my computer that was not related to this issue but hindered me in my work. The only solution that we found was to reinstall windows and then magically this problem solved it self as well. I think the root to my problems was that I was given a computer someone else within the same company was supposed to have, so it might be related to user rights, but it is pretty far fetched.
I am sorry i cannot help you more.
