I have installed SQL Server 2018 and want to install the Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio. The followinng problem occcurs during the installation of SSMS.

Setup Blocked Something has blocked setup from continuing

Click here for the log file

SSMS can only be upgraded by installing the package of the matching language. Please use the matching version of the installer, or uninstall the current version of SSMS and run SSMS setup again

I have manually deleted files under C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\140\Tools

and have restarted the computer many times.

The same problem still occurs.

If you have this issue when you want to update SSMS then do these steps:

  1. Open CMD as administrator and run this command

    reg DELETE “HKLM\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio” /reg:32

  2. Restart your PC. It is important to restart your PC otherwise it will not work.

  3. Run the setup file again and follow the instruction as usual.

You are done!

I followed the above recommendation. I killed the existing MSIExec.exe and then ran the installation, it worked.
