Why doesn't SQL Prompt Core update work in Visual Studio 2017?

MagnaFred

I am trying to run the update for SQL Prompt Core in Visual Studio 2017 and I get to the point where it ask for local administrator access and then nothing happens. Any idea why it doesn't continue the installation? I have tried this many time with no success.

Thanks for any help.

Hi @MagnaFred!

If you just run Visual Studio as administrator and then try to do the update, does that work?

Or if you just download the latest extension from the VS gallery here - https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=vs-publisher-306627.RedgateSQLPromptCore - and run it, does that install successfully?

If not, can you please share a screenshot of what the administrator access prompt looks like? That will hopefully give us a better idea of what's going on.

Thanks!
