Recently I installed SSMS 18.1. It didn't appear in the tool bar so I tried to reinstall it. Not surprisingly I got a message saying it was already installed. I used Programs and Features to remove it and it disappeared from my tool bar in SSMS 17.9.1 but still I got the message it's installed when trying to reinstall.
I checked out the help for it and noticed it said install SSMS before Search. If I hadn't done that, to remove some framework (sorry, can't remember exactly what it was called) and then install Search. I've been through my installed programs and I can find no such framework.
I'm using Windows Server 2016 for my development desktop.
