We have not updated anything on the build server since it last worked
Here is the log from the last successful run:
Does SqlCompare.exe have a built-in trigger to stop supporting SQL Server 2005 on 9-11-2019 or something like that?
We are sure that it was not (manually) updated.

If set to latest, then yes it will pull the latest release from the gallery - pegging it to a particular version as you did is the appropriate course of action in this case.Have you visited our Help Centre?
