I recently installed SQL Server Management Studio 18.5. I get an application error when I try to launch...
"The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). Click OK to close the application."
I have downloaded the latest .Net Framework, Visual C++ Redistributable. I have also repaired, reinstalled severally and ran as administrator most of the time.
I checked the ssms.exe.config in the installation folder. VS says the logpath
and encrypt
attributes are not allowed.
<system.diagnostics>
<sources>
<source name="UserSettings" switchName="SourceSwitch" switchType="System.Diagnostics.SourceSwitch" >
<listeners>
<add name="logFile" type="Microsoft.SqlServer.Diagnostics.STrace.LogFileTraceListener,
 Microsoft.SqlServer.Diagnostics.STrace, Version=15.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89845dcd8080cc91"
logPath="%TEMP%\SSMS\" encrypt="false" >
</add>
</listeners>
</source>
...
This is the error I pulled from the post install log...
