Dear colleagues at the community:
I went to https://myprodscussu1.app.vssubscriptions.visualstudio.com/Downloads?PId=2057 and downloaded the installer for SQL Server 2016 Developer Edition.
I opted to do a full install (all checkboxes selected), but during the installation process, at the "Ready to Install" step, my installation breaks, returning the message that this MSI package is necessary: sql_tools_extensions.msi
I opened the ISO I downloaded and also went to the directort where I uncompressed the installation files and found no occurrence ofsql_tools_extensions.msi. So, I downloaded the ISO again, but it looks like there is no sql_tools_extensions.msi in the package.
I understand that, as a case of a new release, things may be missing.
So I would like to know:
- In practice, what is that sql_tools_extensions.msi file necessary for?
- What options should I uncheck in the installation process so I can have my SQL Server working at least with basic functionality and SSRS?
- Will that affect any SSRS experience I will make?
- Is there any way I can get the sql_tools_extensions.msi file so I may go on with my full install?
Thank you in advance.
All the best,
- Pedro.
