SQL Source Control won't open on latest version

JacobPauly

After ignoring red-gate updates for a long time (my bad) I finally went and upgraded everything in the suite.

SSMS is up to the latest version (15.0.18386.0).
Source control is version 7?
(The engine options file lists the following):

Version:14.1.7.14336-->

<EngineOptions version="3" type="EngineOptions" />

Clicking the source control button does absolutely nothing, doesn't even appear to be attempting to open. Nothing is logged to the localappdata folder. It creates log files, but they're empty. I have repaired source control and reinstalled it.

Please advise, this is causing some major headaches during my work.

Hi @JacobPauly

I'm sorry to hear you are experiencing this issue with SQL Source Control! Thanks for reaching out to us on this.

As a first action, would you mind uninstalling SQL Source Control (we recommend using Revo Uninstaller Free to ensure all residual files are removed - https://www.revouninstaller.com/revo-uninstaller-free-download/) and then reinstalling the very latest version (v.7.2.44), which can be downloaded directly from: https://download.red-gate.com/checkforupdates/SQLSourceControl/SQLSourceControl_7.2.44.13581.exe

Please let us know if you continue to see this issue after reinstalling the product so that we can investigate further.

I did find a solution after the 3rd uninstall/reinstall a few days back. Not sure why that uninstall did the trick, but I'm not complaining. I'll keep that revo uninstall in mind should I run into any other issues further down the line.

Everything is working as intended now.
