I'm very new to being a programmer and would please like to know which is the precise and correct order of installing the following software on a Windows 10 system.

SOFTWARE to be installed: SQL Server, SSDT, SSMS and Visual Studio.

Would the order of the list below be a good or bad thing.:

  1. SQL server
  2. SSDT
  3. SSMS
  4. Visual Studio.

Because one is prompted anyway to install 1, 2 & 3 after installing VS first but not necessarily SQL Server.

Thank you for any assistance.

You can install in order to Sql Server, SSMS, Visual Studio and then SSDT. SSMS would be installed along with SQL Server based on what source you are using. SSDT will add support to Visual Studio and hence it is better to have installed first before SSDT.

hope it helps./.
