SSMS - Shared Components

Hi, I was wondering if shared components of Sql Server Management Studio get updated along with any SSMS updates if available? EG if you update SSMS, Visual Studio Tools for Applications will get updated if there is an update for it.

Hello @kbergh-8431,

When updating/installing a new version of SSMS, the shared components on the machine will be detected. If there is an update to the shared component, updating SSMS will update the shared component.

When I install the latest version of SSMS (18.9.1), I will see the installation interface showing the progress of the shared components, and after the installation is complete, I can find that the installation dates of some shared components have changed in the control panel.
