I also downloaded and installed the latest Red Gate Toolbelt and updated everything, same thing.

Suggestions?  Thanks

    Hi Sam,

    We've had some compatibility issues with the new SSMS 18.5 release. They should now be fixed, though! Could I ask you to try installing the tool from the below links rather than from the SQL Toolbelt installer?

    I experienced the same issues here. The provided installer fixed the issue.

    Hi There, had the same issue and this has fixed. Is there a possibility you could make the latest version easier to download than having to find via a forum post?

    I get the error when installing that version.



    It happens only for SSMS 18.5
