Hi All,

I currently have SSMS Version 18.8 installed on my desktop. I am prompted to install new updates each time I open it. I download and attempt to install 18.9.1 version, however I encounter the following issue (Please see attached).

How do I go about resolving this issue to get the latest updates.

Many Thanks,
