SQL Server Management Studio Plugin
I am having an issue with the plugin in that when I try to setup a connection, it is giving me the error:
Unable to find SQL Server Management Studio executable!!!
Yet I can run it fine. It uses the default location (in this case "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Tools\Binn\ManagementStudio\Ssms.exe") and it is in my Environment Variables Path. I am really not sure why it can't find it, unless it is hardcoded to look elsewhere. Any suggestions?
And for those of you on Holiday today, you best not respond till you get in. This can absolutely wait until you are done enjoying your family and friends :)

Thomas,
It is a bug that has been resolved in that latest build.
There is however a work around. Simply enter the path manually "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Tools\Binn\ManagementStudio\Ssms.exe". The default path uses the system variable %programfiles(x86)% but it does not resolve the variable prior to executing the path. It does however resolve the variable when it tests to see if the files exists, hence the confusion.
Sorry I answered from home, even on holiday :-)

Well I couldn't find where to do the manual workaround and today, I was looking for something completely different and found it. :)
For anyone reading this for a simlar issue, just put the path in Options>Path>Configure Installation Path>{app name}.
Man, if I had looked here before and found it, I would never have needed to ask and bother you guys on a holiday! I guess that is one of the downsides of such a configurable and powerful tool.

I should have specified the UI path to get to the configuration form. It would have saved you some time.
It is also documented here: http://help.remotedesktopmanager.com/index.html?path_installation.htm
