Installer doesn't recognise that SSMS is installed
Category: Troubleshooting & error messages
Date: 27 Nov 2008
Product: SQL Refactor
The installer may not recognise that SQL Server Management Studio is installed even though it is. SQL Refactor is implemented as an add-in to SSMS, therefore it would be pointless to install the product on a computer without SSMS installed on it.
The installer looks for the following registry key:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\sqlwb.sql.9.0\shell\Open\Command
The entry for the "(Default)" value of this key should be the path to SQL Server Management Studio, specifying the /dde switch, for example:
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\Binn\VSShell\Common7\IDE\sqlwb.exe" /dde
This key should be set at the installation of SQL Server Management Studio, however, the key could have been deleted or contain an invalid value due to corruption.
