Because the exception message box is installed by all editions of [!INCLUDE[ssNoVersion](../../includes/ssnoversion-md.md)] except [!INCLUDE[ssEW](../../includes/ssew-md.md)], you can use it with no additional configuration on any computer on which [!INCLUDE[ssNoVersion](../../includes/ssnoversion-md.md)] client components, including the SDK, have been installed. ## See Also [Program Exception Message Box](../../../2014/database-engine/dev-guide/program-exception-message-box.md) [Exception Message Box Reference](../../../2014/database-engine/dev-guide/exception-message-box-reference.md)
