How to get SQL Server Express 2014 Installation directory?

183    Asked by AashnaSaito in SQL Server , Asked on Apr 16, 2021

 I face recently a problem when starting SQL Server Management Studio. As it can't start, I uninstall it. When trying to install it again, I am asked to select the installation folder of SQL Server.

Browse for SQL Server 2014 Installation media

Unfortunately, nor the MSSQL folder, nor its Binn child solved my problem. Can somebody help get the right folder?

Edit: I've succeeded in installing SSMS again, but I still can not run it. It is showing this

message : Error message when starting SSMS

Finally, I cannot guess the source of the problem.


 To browse for SQL server installation media, the dialog asks you for the installation media, pay attention. You need to specify the location from where you've run the original install. That is not an Express uninstall, you are uninstalling a licensed SSMS, so you should provide your original, licensed, CDs.
