Setting up frequent updates if all you have is SSMS 2017?

Just built a new machine, and installed SSMS 2017 as default. It works a treat 
Naturally I now want to run SQL source control, but can't - I've installed the latest version in the bundle (5.4?), though that doesn't work in SSMS 2017. I can see that 5.5 fixes this, though I can't get into SQL source control to switch on frequent updates in order to get the update?
Please tell me I don't have to install a lower version of SSMS just to switch on frequent updates?
Yours in hope! lol

will try a version from there.
Thanks for contacting us!
It does not support SSMS 2005 and older - what version(s) of SSMS are you on currently?
Do you have SQL Source Control installed already?
Warm Regards,

Edit: But other products, like SQL Prompt, are functioning just fine with SSMS 2017.
Hm that's an odd one - when the installer fails, can you please right-click on the title bar of the installer, choose Log File, and send us the content? That will hopefully have more detail on what's going wrong.

We have this logged internally as SOC-8801 - it will happen when you have SSMS 17 on a system that never had another version of SSMS installed before.
This should be resolved in the next release--please bear with us and I'll post here once it's available!
