SQL Search is not appearing in SSMS 18.2

JuanCXT

I have read the other posts in this forum and have uninstalled/reinstalled, searched the registry and ran the MSI as an administrator.  SQL Search is still not appearing in SSMS 18.2.  I have a side by side install with 17.x and it appears there.

Hi Juan, 

Thanks for your post. 

Have you also tried repairing the SSMS Integration Pack Framework? If not, the steps are below:

Close any running instance of SSMSFrom Programs and Features, if there is still a program installed called "SSMS Integration Pack Framework 1", uninstall this (note: you may also have a "SSMS Integration Pack 1" installed, which should remain installed)Delete the folder c:\ProgramData\Red Gate\SIPFw if it still existsRebootReinstall or repair SQL Source Control/SQL Doc/SQL Search/SQL Test/Dependency Tracker/SQL Data Generator [(either option should repopulate c:\ProgramData\Red Gate\SIPFw with a new file.]Launch SSMS to check if the error still occurs 

If that was also unsuccessful for you, I'll raise a support ticket and we'll see if we can help get this set up again!
