>>>Hi,
>>>
>>>Currently I have SSMS 2008 installed on my computer. I need to install SSMS 2016. Do I replace the existing SSMS 2008 or the SSMS 2016 can co-exist with the another version of SSMS?

>>>TIA.

>>I found this link to download and install SSMS 2016 (I think but not sure):

>>It has two options, 16.5 and 17.0. Does 16.5 mean that it is SSMS 2016? (so I don't need the 17.0?)

>I tried to install this (url above) SSMS, Release 16.5, at least 4 times. And it hangs during the installation. I tried running the SSMS-Setup-ENU as Admin and still to no avail. Does anybody know another link where I could download SSMS 2016?
The problem could be WinPatrol. I have two computers and the installation was hanging on the second computer as well, even though I kept clicking on "Accept Changes" when prompted by WinPatrol. Then I removed/uninstalled WinPatrol and SSMS 2016 on the second computer was installed. Maybe I will do it with the "main" PC too (remove WinPatrol).
