in SQL Compare
Hi

I have the following installed.

SSMS 17.9.1
SSMS 18.0

SQL Compare 13 (13.7.13.10771)
SQL Data Compare 13 (13.7.13.10771)
SQL Search 3 (3.2.7.2379)

The SQL search plugin appears in both SSMS fine. The comparison plugins however do not.

Any idea how to resolve?

Thanks, Jon.

    Hi Jon, 

    Have you uninstalled and then reinstalled SQL Compare and SQL Data Compare since installing or upgrading you SSMS versions? 

    A common cause can be that 'SSMS Integration Pack Framework 1', a package that our SSMS plug-ins use to integrate into SSMS 2014 and earlier, can become corrupted.

    To resolve this issue, please follow the same steps outlined below:

    Steps:

    • Close any running instance of SSMS
    • From 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 exists
    • Reboot
    • Reinstall or repair SQL Compare/ SQL Data Compare [(either option should repopulate c:\ProgramData\Red Gate\SIPFw with a new file.]
    • Launch SSMS to check if the error still occurs

    Let me know how you get on!
    Kind regards
