I am on Windows 8.1, Professional edition. I installed SQL Server Management Studio 2012 x64 and everything worked well. I installed Visual Studio 2013 and everything worked well.
Then, I installed Service Pack 1 for Visual Studio and some advanced features. I had trouble uninstalling these things, so I did a system restore to roll back my computer. That worked, but now whenever I go to SSMS, I get a
"Cannot find one or more components. Please reinstall application"
I tried repairing SSMS, uninstalling, reinstalling and even tried SSMS 2014, yet no matter what I do when I go to SSMS I still get that same error.
I am wondering if there is some component that is missing or was removed when I removed Visual Studio Pro? I re-installed Visual Studio 2013 express, and it works, but SSMS still won't work.
I looked at this post and deleted 11.0_Config from the registry, but still no luck.
I then deleted the entire SQL Server Management Studio registry and reinstalled and still no luck.
EDIT:
Every time I install SSMS 2012 or 2014 I get the same above error during the installation when it is installing ManagementToolsAdvancedConfig_install_postmsi_Cpu64. Yet, the installation continues and finishes and even shows all green checkmarks saying everything was installed...
Here is the log summary that was printed after the re-install. Not sure if this helps any:

Is there some other way to look at a log or something to see what components are missing?
