SQL Server Management Studio 2012 Application Cannot Start I'm trying to install SQL Server Management Studio on my laptop.

Operating System: Windows 7 Service Pack 1

But I got an error message saying, "The application cannot start.":



What shall I do? I'm a student and I need this for my thesis / school project.
When I had this issue, I was able to resolve the issue by deleting the folder C:\Users\&lt;User account&gt;\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\SQL Server Management Studio\.

This may remove any personalized settings, etc., returning you to how SSMS works on a fresh install.
