Good morning,
Source control version 7.1.30.11266 is crashing in SSMS 18.6 on startup of SSMS.
I upgraded from the previous version.
I found that using the uninstaller to repair the install fixed the issue. But this is the first time such a crash has happened from an upgrade in some time. Below is the screenshot, and then the recommended error file.

WRN: Assembly binding logging is turned OFF.
To enable assembly bind failure logging, set the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog] (DWORD) to 1.
Note: There is some performance penalty associated with assembly bind failure logging.
To turn this feature off, remove the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog].

I also encountered this problem upgrading from V7.1.29 to V7.1.30 on my test system. I have therefore submitted a new Bug Report whose internal Redgate reference is SOC-10149. I will update this forum post when a bug fix version becomes available.
I can confirm that the work around for the problem is the a repair of the installation via Control Panel ->Programs ->Programs & Features ->Selecting SQL Source Control V7, right click and selected the repair option. Thank you @jsreynolds1for this additional information.
Many Thanks

But then if I click SQL Source Control "Options", I get the SQL Source Control error "Cannot locate resource 'images/producticon16x16_fullcolour.png'.", and SSMS 18.6 (15.0.18338.0) crashes.
Event Viewer shows this exception:
I tried many things (including installing an older version then updating) but nothing stopped it happening with this version. I now consider this latest release to be broken.
Instead, I installed my latest version from my downloads folder (which was 7.1.26 I think), and left it as is (e.g., not updating to 7.1.30). I'll wait for next version - and not delete my old installer.
Note that I couldn't find a place to download the previous version on here - I had to rely on my previous downloads only.
