Hi. Does anyone know how to help? If I run Microsoft SQL Management Studio v17.9.1, I get a warning: "Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.Utilities.Internal, Version=14.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified." and SQL Management Studio is shutting down. I have Windows 10 Pro, SQL Server = LocalDB, Misrosoft Visual Studio 2012.

What I have tried:

I started Microsoft SQL Management Studio 2014 with the same warning.

Go to Control Panel - Apps - Uninstall and search for "Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio".
Click it, select Modify and Repair, if you don't see Repair uninstall and reinstall Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio.

Hi. Thank you for your reply. I tried to fix (repair): Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 16.5, Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 17.9.1 and Microsoft Visual Studio 2012. Unfortunately, no success.

Maybe the two SSMS versions are conflicting, I think you should only install the newest version. Installing multiple Visual Studios should not be a problem.
