Installing SQLServer Management Studio 2012 - Windows 8.1
I've tried several download sources trying to get a DB instance installed (works fine), however, getting an executable SSMS eludes me. Saw lots of explanations of how to install it; they don't end up producing a tool I can run. Anyone with
either a link that will work, or the caveat I need to follow to get functional SSMS on Windows 8.1 would be appreciated.
First please give information about what version of SQL Server SSMS you are trying to install. Again you did not give any information about error ? Unless you give complete information it would be difficult for us to provide you correct answer.
Please edit your question and add more information

Issue of Installing SQL Management Studio
Hi,
I still have an issue of installing SQL Management Studio 2012 or even any version, so it gives me errors and i don't know what to so with that. Many people saw that issue and no body could fix it, i really need your help and why SQL Management Studio can't
be installed in my Windows 7 64 bit
Thanks so much
RaedHi Raed,
According to your description, you fail to install SQL Server 2012 Management Studio on windows 7. It is supported to install SQL Server 2012 Management Studio on windows 7. Please help to post SQL Server setup error log for analysis. By default, SQL Server
setup summary and detail logs locate in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Setup Bootstrap\Log.
Make sure that your account has admin rights and you right-click the setup.exe and choose “Run as administrator” to install SQL Server. To troubleshoot the issue, please pay attention to the points below.
1.Make sure that you install or enable .NET 3.5 SP1.
2.Make sure that you install Windows 7 SP1.
3.Make sure that you install Windows PowerShell 2.0.
For more information about the process, please refer to the article:

SQL Server 2012 Management Studio for Windows XP
Hi
I want to install SQL Server Management Studio 2012 on Windows XP. Is there anyway to install or is there any client we can use?
It is kind of limitation as we can't update OS on our machines.
Please help.
ThanksSQL server 2012 even SQL client tools is not supported on Windows XP. But you can install SQL server 2012 management studio on 2012 I guess it would not stop you from istalling but you would run risk of running unsupported feature.
Download below
from link
ENU\x64\SQLManagementStudio_x64_ENU.exe assuming you have 64 bit version

Don't have permission to do anything in SQL Management Studio 2012
I have installed SQL Server 2012 with SQL Management Studio on Windows 7 Enterprise SP1. When I log into Studio, it won't let me do anything other than view. I am using Windows Authentication and am logged in as a domain user with local admin
rights. I installed SQL with this same account. If I try to use SQL Authentication, I can't figure out the default password for "sa". Any ideas as to how to get access to this so I can create new databases from within Studio?I am using express. Should I try developer instead? I should mention that I also have whatever version of SQL Server Express came with my Visual Studio 2013 when I installed it.
Express should work fine.
When you install SQL Server, there is a screen where you are supposed to enter a Windows user that is to have sysadmin permissions. There is a button "Add Current User" which is convenient.
On the same screen you can also specify that you want to have SQL Server authentication enabled, and in this case you must specify the sa password. That is, there is no default password.
Now, I don't install Express Edition very often, but I seem to recall that the Express install by default skips some of the screens unless you press an "Advanced" button along the way. The screen I'm talking about may be one them. But in
that case, I would expect the user under which you ran the install to be added as sysadmin.

I am fairly new to this whole process of working with the Microsoft development environment. Here is what I have to work with:
an NT server running Microsoft SQL 2012 - Microsoft SQL Server Standard (64-bit) 11.0.2100.60
and on my laptop (all freebie downloads):
SQL Server Management Studio 2012 ver 11.0.2100.60
Visual Studio 2012 Express for Desktop Development and
Visual Studio 2012 Shell (Integrated)
I was able to create an SSIS package in
2012 Shell (Integrated). It takes a flat file and imports it into an SQL database table. It runs successfully from within the
2012 Shell (Integrated) envrionment.
But I am having trouble figuring out how to set this up on the 2012 SQL Server. I see that one of my colleagues created an Integration Services Catalog,
and using SQL Management Studio I was able to create a folder under that called DigLic. But when I go to the Projects subfolder of DigLic and attempt to import my SSIS package, I get an error message:
"To launch the Integration Services Deployment wizard, one of the components: Integration Services, Management Tools - Basic or Business Intelligence Development Studio has to be installed by the SQL Server
2012 Standard, Enterprise, Developer, or Evaluation Edition. To install a component, run SQL Server Setup and Select the component name"
I realize that Express Versions of Visual Studio lack the full feature set of a professional version. But am I wrong in assuming that owning a server version of SQL Server 2012 gives us license to a professional
version of SQL Management Studio 2012? If so, how would I go about getting this software component installed? And I am not clear if this is something that needs to be installed on our SQL Server or if I simply need a professional version of SSMS
loaded on my laptop.
I work for a company that is fairly fractured in its repsonsibilities, so I would need to know exactly what to ask for if I need to track down any licenses that I might need and if I need to have any specific software installed on our SQL server or on my
laptop.
All helpt would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!Arthur,
Thank you for your reply. But at this point, one of my points of confusion is what software I have available to me. I wish I had a useful central help desk to call up and just say, "Hey, load me up with all of the professional version(s) of Visual
Studio. But I do not know what we have license to. And I kind of need to know what the options are, so that I can ask a specific question of our vast buracracy.
For now, I have downloaded only free versions of Visual Studio client software. Since my company does have servers running Microsoft SQL Server, I am going to assume that we have proper licensing for those servers. But does that server license
allow me to get any professional versions of the PC client software for the various Visual Studio(s) 2012?
And if I get a professional version of Visual Studio 2012, does that do away with the three different flavors that I have right now? I have 2012 versions of SQL Server Management Studio, Visual Studio Express, and Visual Studio Shell (Integrated).
Your feedback is much appreciated.
Thanks! -
Why SQL services is dont start in configuration manager studio 2012
I finished installing SQL server Management Studio 2012 and that of configuration management studio.
When I wanted to log in did not find server name, and I tried <pc name>\SQLEXpress, still did not work.
So checked configuration management studio and I noticed that usually we see arrow type button (like "play " button) on the picture of CPU beside word- SQL server services on configuration management studio, was not seen.
is it the reason why it SSMS don't find Server name?
I freshly install SSMS, did I miss to install something?
Please help... ThanksAlso, did you install Express edition, if so, Express edition does not have sql Server agent service but you will see that in the configuration manager with Stop button kind of thing and you cannot start that,o do not worry about it
A more appropriate description would be
Express edition has SQL Server agent code inbuilt but is disabled by edition restriction. It is there because when you upgrade SQL Express to Enterprise or Standard Upgrade just need to enable that code to bring Agent services it saves itself from hassle
of writing a code for agent.

Deploy SQL Management Studio 2012 through SCCM
Hello,
Has anyone successfully deployed SQL Management Studio 2012 with SCCM?
A couple of specific questions:
- Which folder from the SQL Media is required to ensure that only Management Studio deploys (we would like to limit the size of the deployment Package)?
- What command line options do we need to use to install the Advanced version of Management Studio with all of the Tools and Books Online. I have found the following but there is not a clear distinction about what is required and what is optional:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms144259.aspx
- Can someone confirm the following command line options for machine that has 2008 R2 Management Studio on it?
Setup.exe /q /ACTION=upgrade /IACCEPTSQLSERVERLICENSETERMS /FEATURES=Tools
- Can someone confirm the following command line options for a new installation of 2012 Management Studio?
Setup.exe /q /ACTION=Install /IACCEPTSQLSERVERLICENSETERMS /FEATURES=Tools
- Do I need to use /PID for the product key if I am only installing Management Studio?
Thank you,
MattHello,
I had a couple of failed upgrades involving SSMS while testing on one of my laptops with a Hyper-V machine. I couldn’t blog about it because I couldn’t find the reason myself. I ended uninstalling the tools on SQL Server 2008 R2, and then proceeding with the
upgrade. Both issues occurred with RC0. I used Hyper-V snapshots to create restore points.
Besides that I had some issues enabling .NET Framework on Windos Server 8 using the GUI. However, enabling .NET Framework from the command prompt works perfectly.
Hope this helps.

Management Studio 2012 Slow As Molasses
I have seen other posts before about previous versions from 2008 R2 to 2005. I have used both and never had problems. I am now running Windows 8 x64 and just installed SQL Management Studio Ent x64 SP1 CU3. I don't have any problems
opening MS, but my problems are specifically for example when I right-click on a database in order to
see the menu to click on Properties, it first does nothing for a few good seconds, and them the mouse turns into a circle that rotates for a few more seconds, and then finally does the menu appear so I can click on properties.
Then, after clicking on properties, it takes a few more good seconds until the menu itself opens up so I can change the DB's settings.
I also noticed that when I opened a query file which I saved, until the window will open, and after I click on the
Execute button to execute the query until it opens also lags for a few seconds.
I have tried already to:
- Change the IE settings for certificate revocation
- Modify my hosts file for crl.microsoft.com
But neither of them helped, and they also seem to be referring to a specific problem where MS doesn't open fast. By me it does.
Compatibility Mode + changing UAC as was recommended in another post didn't work at all as I couldn't even open MS.
I have tried changing the new display/graphics settings in the Options which didn't help. Nor did deleting the settings for MS stored in my user profile.
Please help,
ReuvyHi,
It may be a silly question: how much memory and what kind of CPU do you have? (For example my laptop has 32GB RAM and a Core i7 CPU and never seen this issue. ;-) )

I am using "sqlmanagementstudio_x64_ENU.exe". Iam using .net framework 3.5.1.

Rakesh.Hello,
I have seen in the past that error and is generally related to remnants
from previous installations of SQL Server. Manually uninstalling the remnants may help as explained on the following resources:
