Thanks, but maybe a little too obvious?
I feel like it was only one level of abstraction away from:
put "me" in between "co" and "dy"

I guessed it was comedy because of the me and company parts but I didn't think of DIY so it wasn't that obvious ( except for OG but you know whay he's like  )

IT's 2020. When are we going to get an "Update..." option within the app that updates this beast instead of us having to go to a website, download and manually install it. It's not like it's built using Visual Studio's guts or anything, and that VS has a fully integrated upgrader / installer, or anything.
Driving. Me. Nuts.

The last version I used was 2014, and it was built using Visual Studio's guts, namely Visual Studio Code. On top of that, you had to download the full installer for SQL Server (several GB's) in order to get it. Unbelievable PITA.
I am firmly convinced that everyone at Microsoft has a fiber optic link to the corporate LAN. That's the only thing I can think of that would make them believe that an 8GB or 12GB download for a utility app was reasonable.
I am not looking forward to when I update our data base crap to whatever's new and shiny  .

I have the full offline installer for SSMS 18.6, and it's 534MB. Is this what you're talking about?

No. They must have realized what an idiocy it was to have to download SQL Server just to get the management tool. My last attempt at this was with SQL Server 2014.

At least you CAN update SSMS... For me it fails on an ODBC driver update because the current driver can not be removed... (but if I remove manually it still fails because the current driver can not be removed)...

Poor Microsoft. Will we ever be happy with their updaters? Offer an external upgrader - people scream that they hate it. Offer an update from inside the application - people scream that they hate it. Do an automatic update - people scream that they hate it. They really can't win.

And still we pay for their products, because the free alternative isn't really an alternative.
But then again, if we pay for something we have also earned the right to complain, right?

Simple, isn't it.

It's as bad as VS itself these days! 
It's genius actually...faced with the thought of having to click through this every time I connect to that box, and since it's Sunday, I am relenting and installing the updates...and of course it needs a restart.
