I'm running SQL server installation center 2016 and When I click "New SQL Server stand-alone installation or add features to an existing installation" I get to pick a folder. No matter what folder I pick, it says that it is invalid.
I've seen similiar problems on various forums (including this) but they are all for older versions. This is what I've tried:
1. run as administrator.
2. selected the folder that contains the .exe file (SSMS-Setup-ENU.exe)
3. unzipped the .exe file and selected that folder
Nothing works. Also, in case you are listening Microsoft, "Not a valid folder" is not a very descriptive error..
