MS SSMS v18 not updating

[RF]

We've deployed Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio v18 Updates, but the update deployed is v15.0.18369.0 (x64), which is an older version. This also doesnt update with error code 0x80070643(-2147023293)

The new version (15.0.18384.0) was released yesterday by Microsoft so it should be in our next catalogue release.

That error code resolves to 1603 which is unfortunately generic and usually a client-side issue. Generally there's more detail in the vendor install log files or if you launch the installer GUI on the problem device. We have an article which discusses that here some more: https://patchmypc.com/installation-fails-with-error-code-1603

Hi,

I've checked the logs and it indeed says that a reboot might be needed. I've done this and now this version works! Ill check the version tomorrow to make sure that one also works.


Thanks
