microsoft.Visualbasic.powerpacks error in 3.1.4.72

• 
  I was able to work around this by copying Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.Vs.dll to the Redgate folder.
  
  I obtained this from my VS 2010 installation at C:\Program Files (x86)\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\VBPowerPacks\v10.0\Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.Vs.dll
  
  Redgate may want to bundle this into the installer

  I installed VisualBasic Power Pack 3.5 from this URL: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download ... x?id=25169
  
  On my 64-bit machine, it installed it here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Basic 2005 Power Packs\3.0
  
  I copied the file to: C:\Program Files (x86)\Red Gate\SQL Source Control 3
  
  Did not work in SSMS. Without removing the above copy, also copied it to: C:\Program Files (x86)\Red Gate\SQL Data Compare 10
  
  Still did not work. I suppose I should also mention I shutdown SSMS each time. There was also a companion XML file which I also tried copying.
  
  Suggestions?

  The link supplied above is for version 3, it needs to be v3.5 which internally is v10, v3.0 is 9

  here is how I got around this error.... it was made difficult because the target machine doesn't have Studio installed meaning that the gacutil.exe wasn't installed either:
  
  - Copied "Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.Vs.dll" from my development machine to our development SQL server (Windows 2008 R2).. it's in C:\Temp
  
  - open a command prompt as "Run as Administrator"
  
  - C:>explorer C:\Windows\assembly
  
  - that will open an explorer window there
  
  - go back to the command prompt and now type:
  
  - C:>explorer C:\Temp
  
  - that will open a second window
  
  - drag the DLL from the second explorer window to the first and the DLL will be in the GAC !
  
  
  Works !!
  
  
  
  If you try to navigate around in the first explorer window you will "lose" your permissions, so just open two.... gotta love Windows....
