Why the SSMS-setup-ENU for version 17.8.1 isn't running? - ssms

I have successfully downloaded and installed the developer version of SQL server 2017. Then I went to the SSMS website and downloaded the latest version of SSMS, which is 17.8.1. The exe file was properly downloaded and it is not damaged at all. When I double-clicked it, windows ask me if I am allowing this app to change my device. I clicked yes. Then nothing happened. The installation process just won't begin. My system is 64bit win10, and it is updated to the latest version. I have also downloaded some earlier versions of SSMS such as 17.5 and 17.3 and I encountered the exact same problem. I'd like to know if it has anything to do with my visual studio? I have downloaded and installed the latest visual studio 2017, and it doesn't help.

This happens when the latest dot net framework is not installed. The setup does not show what is its missing it just do not run.
You can try installing 4.6.2 net
Go to this link.

After finishing installation.
Run SSMS setup and it will show the installation screen.

Upgrade VS2022 preview to release version

I have Visual Studio 2022 Preview installed and would like to replace it with the release version that went live yesterday.
When I started VS and checked for updates, it let me upgrade from the previous release candidate to Preview 1.0, but not the actual release version.
Is it possible at all to replace the preview with a release version, or do I have to install them side by side (and delete the preview)?
This is the version I have now:
Microsoft Visual Studio Professional 2022 (64-bit) - Preview
Version 17.1.0 Preview 1.0
You don't have to reinstall anything. Just switch the update channel in Visual Studio Installer (More -> Update settings):
You have to reinstall. Preview is basically an Insider build. It will continue to update as pre-release even after 2022 releases.
No need to reinstall or to uninstall. Just download the installer of the channel you want and start it. Once the installer finished updating the installer check again the solution from #antarct and it should show you the option to change.
I was able to switch the Update channel, but the context menu still says "Microsoft Visual Studio 2022 Preview" and the application still lives in "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Preview".
I can't live with that rubbish. These may be minor, but in what other areas was the upgrade done so poorly?
I'll be uninstalling and reinstalling as soon as I can find the time to waste on something I shouldn't need to do.
You don't need to reinstall. From my experience, you just need to run the installer NOT from inside visual studio, but from the start menu.
I had switched to preview from release channel for my installation. When I first saw an update notification in visual studio, I opened the installer via the notification and only preview channel was there in the channel list. Then I decided to try the installer from the start menu before hopelessly re-installing as suggested here, the usual full channel list appeared. Then I went back to visual studio and opened the installer from there again, and the channel list was refreshed in there, too. It seems like a metadata refresh problem. Or, maybe the channel data was updated while I was tinkering with it, IDK.

Error when trying to install SSMS 18.4 version

Not sure if anyone has came across this problem but any help is greatly appreciated.
I have SSMS 18.0 Preview 4 installed on my local machine. Whenever I am trying to install any new released version of SSMS I get below error.
Error: The Generally Available (GA) version of SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) v18.0 cannot be installed because a pre-release version of SSMS is installed on your computer. Uninstall the pre-release version of SSMS from 'Add/Remove Programs' in the Control Panel and run SSMS setup again.
SO i followed the Error and completely removed Preview version. And when i am running new SSMS set up file it still showing same error though i do not have Preview version installed on. I restarted machine after uninstall as well.
Though in error image it says set up is blocked but when i run the SSMS 18 prview 4 it doesn't give me this error and take me to install click.
Any thoughts or solution will highly helpful.
Thank you.
If you encounter this error with the reason being "ssms is currently running", check the file name of the setup exe. If it's ssms.exe, rename it to anything else, I suspect the setup is detecting itself as being management studio based on file name. This worked for me.
Just FYI... This tool helped me to remove the SSMS for SSAS and SSRS which wasn't showing up during regular uninstall.
Tried the MS removal tool and it was showing 4 different SSMS which i uninstalled and finally i was able to install SSMS 18.4.

In my case, I was getting the error "SSMSCurrentlyRunning = SSMS is currently running. Please close any open instances of SSMS and run this installer again."
I downloaded the file again and it worked.
I had this problem, reinstalled version 18 public preview 7 on https://cloudblogs.microsoft.com/sqlserver/2019/03/01/sql-server-management-studio-18-0-public-preview-7-released/
and then uninstalled and installed the updated version.

Open XML SDK 2.5 can't install because it is not already installed?

i'm having some trouble installing OpenXML SDK for Microsoft office. I have downloaded the .msi from the MSDN website, run it but before any installation wizard shows, i get this window popping up:
It seems to want to install itself before it will install itself.. I have OpenXML on my other PC and this installed fine with no issues and have used the tool for a project.
I have .NET 4.6.2 installed on my machine.
Has anyone seen this before?
There are 2 separate installers on the OpenXml 2.5 MSDN page - the SDK and the tools. From the error message you are seeing it looks like you are trying to install the Tools but in order to do so you need the SDK installed first.

How to install Mulesoft Anypoint studio on Ubuntu Linux?

Last time I worked with Anypoint Studio, my work laptop ran Windows 7. Now I'm using Ubuntu, with Win7 in a Virtualbox VM, and I'd love to install Anypoint Studio directly on Ubuntu rather than on the virtual Windows machine.
But I have a hard enough time finding a working download for Windows (most of the links point to a page on Mulesoft's site that no longer exists), nevermind any mention of getting it to work on Linux. But I'm hopeful that it is possible (because questions like this indicate that users are using it this way). (To be explicit, this is not meant to be derogatory, sometimes I'm just not good with words.)
So:
Is it possible to run Anypoint Studio in Linux (Ubuntu)?
If yes, can you direct me to a download source and an installation guide?
(In case it matters, my exact OS version is Ubuntu MATE 15.10.)
You can download the newest (Beta) in http://blogs.mulesoft.com/biz/mule/new-mule-3-8-studio-6-0-beta-releases/
You can download the latest stable version in http://mule-studio.s3.amazonaws.com/5.4.0-NOV30/AnypointStudio-for-linux-64bit-5.4.0-201511302043.tar.gz
To get this link you have to register in https://developer.mulesoft.com/, inside Anypoint platform -> Design & build APIs -> Build APIs -> Download Studio
In addition to previous responses, official download links for latest Anypoint Studio can be found here:

visual studio crash when try to start kernel debugger

I have a project on my studies to write kernel driver. First step of this project is to prepere working environment, so I installed WDK, installed and configured Windows 7 x64 on virtualbox machine and created hello world kernel driver solution from the internet. After that I could deploy and debug my driver in windows 7 client machine directly from visual studio. Everything worked fine. After few days there was an update to windows 10 (host) - november update 1511, I installed that and (sic!) removed ,,previous Windows installations" to get disk space. Unfortunatelly when I opened my project again - I couldn't deploy and debug my driver due to visual studio crash. I can't find workaround for 3 days which is really frustrating beacause I have to show it to my professor on monday.
What I have tried to do:
I completly reinstalled visual studio and WDK (in host and client machine) and it still happens.
After compile, when I click ,,Debugging tools for Windows - Kernel Debugger", visual studio is crashing
(screen)
I can't get previous installation back and now I have no time to reinstall entire system.
Can you help me, please? Is there a way to get it working again?
PS. Excuse me for my english
I solved that.
After I upgraded my OS, I had still installed WDK 10.0.10240, it was not updated to the newer version. Even if I reinstalled it with new wdksetup.exe downloaded from microsoft site, there was still this version. Microsoft did not update their download page. I searched in google "WDK 10.0.10586.11" and I found the direct link to the newest WDK 10.0.10586.0 on tweettunnel.com/vanhoivo.
The link is:
http://download.microsoft.com/download/C/E/1/CE19C726-6036-4443-845B-A652B0F48CD7/wdk/wdksetup.exe
After I installed this wdk version, the problem has solved, VisualStudio is not crashing now and I can deploy and debug my driver. However, I think that is a bug in VisualStudio - it should show an error that WDK version is not appropriate
Thanks
