SQL 2012 SSMS crashes

rbennet8

I just installed V3.0.12. It seems to work if I use SQL 2008 SSMS except it send a msg to Red Gate at start up.The type initializer for 'RedGate.SharedSSMS.Util.ReflectionUtils' threw an exception.

However, if I try to use SQL 2012 SSMS to connect to the SQL 2008 server, I get an error message(appended). I clear the error message but when I try to expand SQl Server Oject Explorer, SSMS crashes.

I guess I will reinstall my older version until this is resolved.

I reinstalled the old version 3.0.4.40 and SQL 2012 still crashes. I even uninstalled and reinstalled the original SSMS integration Pack 1.0.2.6 and SQL 2012 SSMS still crashes. What should I try next?

2012 error details
Error connecting to 'ETALK7033W7X64\SQL2008R2'.

This is a known issue that has been fixed in a patch release which you can download from here:
ftp://support.red-gate.com/patches/sql_ ... .0.777.zip

Once installed, restart SSMS and hopefully the error message will no longer be displayed.

I'm not anxious to back off to the previous version, so what can I do to stop the error message at startup of SSMS? I'm using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 10.50.1600.1; connecting to 2005, 2008 and 2008R2 servers.

Why wasn't I getting an update notification for this for the app? I manually downloaded and applied the patch and it resolved the error for me.

Thanks
