SQL Server 2016 not connecting after SQL SC update

sgtwickoolOld

Hi,

I just updated SQL Source Control to Version 5.3.3.3431, but when I opened SSMS 2016 I received the following error:

The 'SqlSourceControlPackage' package did not load correctly.

The problem may have been caused by a configuration change or by the installation of another extension. You can get more information by examining the file 'C:Users*****AppDataRoamingMicrosoftAppEnv14.0ActivityLog.xml'.

Restarting Visual Studio could help resolve this issue.

Continue to show this error message?

After seeing this error message, I tried to connect to a database in SSMS, but it won't let me. It opens the "Connect to Server" window for a fraction of a second, then it disappears. Any thoughts?

Cheers,

Greg

Hi Gregory,

I would start by uninstalling and reinstalling SQL Source Control:

1 - Uninstall "SQL Source Control" and "SSMS Integration Pack Framework 1"
2 - Restart the operating system
3 - Reinstall *SQL Source Control*
4 - Test again

Thank you,

I tried this multiple times and I tried completely uninstalling management studio and all redgate tools, then installing management studio 2016, then redgate toolbelt, but this didn't work. It has now started working after a recent management studio 2016 update hah, but it had me using SSMS 2014 for about a month. Hopefully the problem won't return... Cheers
