Not a valid installation folder for Replicator SSMS
Hi,
I'm trying to configure the replicator in SSMS but I have to install it. Then problem arises when selecting a folder to proceed with the instalation as it says "it is not a valir installation folder".
I have tested disabling the Windows Firewall but didn't work.
Any help?
Thanks.

Read the message "...because replication is not installed on this instance of SQL Server..."
Replication is a separate installation option and when you missed the option, then it's not installed.
Add Replication to your installation, see
Add Features to an Instance of SQL Server (Setup) - SQL Server | Microsoft Learn
