No major changes to the VM, that I'm aware of.

Apologies for the issues you're experiencing with SQL Data Generator. Could you let me know which authentication method you're using to connect to SQL Server? SQL Data Generator does not natively support Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for SQL Server. This is because MFA typically requires interactive prompts, which are not supported by SQL Data Generator's connection mechanisms. The tool primarily supports SQL Server Authentication and Windows Authentication.

I've been using 'Active Directory universal with MFA' for months now, it hasn't been a problem until I tried it yesterday. I see the MFA prompts and can authenticate properly; I can pick the database I want to use but when I click 'ok' to start the project I get the error. I'm passed the MFA prompts at that point. Side note: I am still able to use this authentication method with the Mulit-Script tool, and SQL Compare.
Hi Dan,
Thank you for the additional details. Could you please confirm if there have been any changes to your setup. The error message you received points to a potential issue with the .NET assembly on your system. Our application requires .NET Framework version 4.7.2 or later to function correctly, which I assume is in place since there haven't been any major changes reported.
Additionally, I noticed that there was an update released for SDG to version 4.6.2 yesterday. Can you confirm if this is the version you currently have installed? If not can you let me know which version you have installed?
