Problem: (Sql server 2014) This issue happens when assembly Microsoft.SqlServer.management.sdk.sfc version 12.0.0.0 not found by visual studio.

Solution: just go to http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=42295 and download:

  • ENU\x64\SharedManagementObjects.msi for X64 OS or
  • ENU\x86\SharedManagementObjects.msi for X86 OS,

then install it, and restart visual studio.

PS: You may need install DB2OLEDBV5_x64.msi or DB2OLEDBV5_x86.msi too.

Problem: (Sql server 2012) This issue happens when assembly Microsoft.SqlServer.management.sdk.sfc version 11.0.0.0 not found by visual studio.

Problem: I recently got similar problem after installing SharedManagementObjects. assembly Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo, Version=12.0.0.0 not found by visual studio. The problem was Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio was not installed yet.

Solution: for Visual Studio 2013 just go to http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40784 and download:

  • vcredist_x64.exe for X64 OS or
  • vcredist_x86.exe for X86 OS,

then install it, and restart visual studio.

PS: You can find Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 20XX for other versions of Visual Studio easily by googling it.
