title: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio installer language conflict
body: <p>I have a server with an English Version of Windows that  is located in Germany, which due to "smart" behaviour of the Microsoft SQL website leads to the following problem:</p>
  
  <p>When I try to download the MS SQL SMS installer from the official website, it automatically downloads the German version of the installer <code>SSMS-Setup-DEU.exe</code>.</p>
  
  <p>When I then try to run that file, the following error message is displayed:</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/JZMan.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/JZMan.png" alt="Setup Blocked Screenshot"></a></p>
  
  <p>Summed up: Setup was blocked because the installer language (German) does not match the OS language (English).</p>
  
  <p>I have tried a number of different ways to get to an English installer, but in the end, all pages link me to either <a href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/ssms/download-sql-server-management-studio-ssms?view=sql-server-2017" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/ssms/download-sql-server-management-studio-ssms?view=sql-server-2017</a> or its German version, and even if that site is in English, clicking the download link still downloads the German installer, <code>SSMS-Setup-DEU.exe</code>.</p>
  
  <p>I am looking for a way to get the English installer.</p>
