    Hi @GADDE MANJU SRI

    Try this workaround: Re-solve how to install SSMS.

    • remove temp files from %temp% folder (C:\Users<user name>\AppData\Local\Temp)
    • 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

    Best regards,

    Cosmog Hong

    Installation problems with SSMS are unfortunately not unheard of. I guess they are due to that something is not as expected on the computer.

    I would try to reboot the machine, and possibly also repair Windows.

    Else, you can download Azure Data Studio separately and install that. ADS is a more modern piece of software and less prone to installation failures, I believe.
