Question: I was looking through Programs installed on a server with SQL Server installed and noticed Visual Studio components installed.
As part of a SQL Server installation , which parts of the SQL Server install install the Visual Studio components?
Answer: Since the 2016 version , SSMS is now based on the Visual Studio 2015 Shell. You could say SSMS is a Visual Studio Extension. The main reasoning , is the removal of dependency on installing .Net Framework 3.5 and some apparent performance improvements.
Note:SSMS is now a standalone installation
