I am running Windows 8, 64 bit and have SQL Server 2012 installed. I downloaded the client tools, looked in the directory for SQL Server Management Studio, and see it's there. When I try to run SQL Management Studio I receive the error message:
"Cannot find one or more components. Please reinstall application".
This problem just started. I have reinstalled the application and downloaded the service packs. The shortcut key shows the path but it still will not run.

Maybe you uninstalled Visual Studio 2010? Try installing the isolated package: Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Shell (Isolated) Redistributable Package
