    SSMS is a plugin for Visual Studio, you see it in the splash screen, when you start SSMS: "Powered by Visual Studio"

    As the message say, you have to patch VS with SP 1, the only valid link (2010 is very old) is

    You can download the most recent version of SSMS here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/ssms/download-sql-server-management-studio-ssms
    This version is built on the shell for Visual Studio 2017, so it will not clash with your VS 2010 installation.

    Hi @abc ,

    SSMS 2012 relies upon the Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Shell (Isolated) Redistributable Package.

    As Erland mentioned, suggest you using the latest version SSMS 18.8, it relies upon the Microsoft Visual Studio 2017 Shell. Microsoft Visual Studio 2017 Shell will be installed automatically when install SSMS 18.8. SSMS can be installed side by side, you can also using SSMS 18.8 connect to SQL server 2012.
