SSMS 17.9.1 crashes on "connect"

I installed SSMS 17.9.1.

When I start SSMS it crashes when I try to connect to the database server.

See this 5 second video https://vimeo.com/302442420/2ed86b92d8

My only action is to click on the "connect" button. Then the object explorer appears quickly followed by SSMS shutdown.

How can I get SSMS to work properly ?

I asked the same question on the Microsoft Developer Network.

This is the solution that worked:

  1. Uninstall SSMS
  2. Uninstall Visual Studio 2015 IsoShell
  3. Uninstall Microsoft Visual C++ 2015(or 2017 if you are using it) Redistributable. Uninstall both x86 and x64 if they're on your computer.
  4. Reinstall Visual Studio 2015 IsoShell
  5. Reinstall SSMS
  6. Reinstall Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable

It took a long time!
