how to get SSME.exe for sql server 2012

  • Hi All,

    I posted a question before, but this questions is different then the other one.

    I have both sql server 2008 and sql server 2012 on my computer. In the sqlserver 2008, I have a directory path like below:

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Tools\Binn\VSShell\Common7\IDE\SSME.exe

    and for sql server 2012, I have a directory path like below:

    C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Tools\Binn\ManagementStudio\

    In sql server 2008, I can see ssme.exe, but not in SQLserver 2012 directory path. I have the full version of sql server 2012 not the express version. I have the CD too.

    From the run command if I do ssme.exe, it opens the sql server 2008 because it navigates to the below directory which has sql server 2008 installed.

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Tools\Binn\VSShell\Common7\IDE\SSME.exe

    I have windows 7 and the system is X64-bit

    How can I get the SSME.exe for SQL server 2012.

    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Don't you have a shortcut in the start menu? You can right click that and view properties to see where it is pointed to. The default location is something like this.

    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Tools\Binn\ManagementStudio\Ssms.exe"

  • Why do you want to use one specific version? Both can connect to any version.

    If possible, you should remove those SSMS versions and install SSMS 16.5 which is the latest stable release. https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/mt238290.aspx
