Error trying to use .sqlgen file with Test step

I just installed DLM Automation 2, and I'm running into some trouble with the Test step.

For the purpose of my tests, I have to populate the test DB with some reference data which I am trying to do using SQL Data Generator and a predefined project file that I have checked into source control. I am getting the following error:

2016-09-30T20:36:27.8643303Z ##[error]System.Management.Automation.CmdletInvocationException: SQLDataGenerator.exe terminated with the exit code 200: Fatal execution error.
2016-09-30T20:36:27.8653365Z ##[error]SQLDataGenerator.exe produced this error output:
2016-09-30T20:36:27.8653365Z ##[error]Error: There was a problem creating/loading the project. This may indicate that
2016-09-30T20:36:27.8663293Z ##[error]SQL Data Generator was unable to connect to the specified database.

I don't think it is a permissions thing, since the build agent is creating the test DB to begin with. Any ideas?

    Update: digging in a bit more, it looks like DLM Automation's SDG can't load the project file because the file was created in a newer version of SDG.
    Additionally, the version used by DLM doesn't seem to support copying IDENTITY column values when using an existing data source, which is what I'm trying to do.

    Is it possible to update the version of SDG being used by DLM Automation?

    Hi,

    You'll notice that in your DLM Automation installation directory, there is a SDG subdirectory. In there are the SQL Data Generator files that DLM Automation uses. You can manually update the version of SQL Data Generator by copying the files across from your standalone SQL Data Generator installation. I'd recommend backing up the existing files beforehand just in case.

    Thanks Rob, yep I can now use the data gen project file, although now I am getting another error which is somewhat unhelpful (see call stack below).
    If I run the equivalent SQLDataGenerator call in powershell on the Build machine, it runs successfully.

    Excerpt of logs:
