Went to upgrade SSMS today and it failed. Now I can't launch the program, can't repair or uninstall either. I'm installing this local on my machine (Windows 10). I'm not running from a network location. I've looked into the registry settings and things seem OK there.
Here's the log message

Do you try to turn off your windows and then restart it and then uninstall SSMS again?
Do you try to fix it by troubleshooter?
Click the Fix it link. Click Run in the File Download dialog box, and then follow the steps in the Fix it wizard. Please reference: how-to-use-microsoft-easy-fix-solutionsThe following is a link to an example of a user experiencing a similar issue with different software that was resolved:
error-1606-could-not-access-network-location-autodesk-autocadAnd the reply from this case may be helpful: need-expert-cannot-install-management-studio

Janne 1 Reputation point2020-09-30T07:26:35.82+00:00 I have same problem and have tried several work arounds without success including similar issue with autodesk-autocad link provided above. Installation starts to rollback at the very end of Package Process/ Integrations Services.
