How do I install SQL Prompt on SSMS 21?

I have SQL Prompt 18 with SQL Prompt and it works fine.

I installed SSMS 21 and cannot see SQL Prompt. I ran the SQL Essentials installer again and it lists what I already have but does not offer me to install anything on SSMS 21.

 

How do I install SQL Prompt on SSMS 21?

    Hi Nicolas Verhaeghe 

    Please can you uninstall SSMS 21 and SQL Prompt and then reinstall, SSMS first and then SQL Prompt.

    Hello, Doing the above did not work.

    I am having a similar issue:  When I first installed SqlPrompt 11, it would only show up when I ran SSMS 21 normally, but when I ran SSMS 21 as “Run as a different user” (to use my elevated account that has permissions on the SQL Server), the SqlPrompt menu did not show, and I found no option to enter the licensing credentials for SqlPrompt.

    I tried uninstalling/reinstalling SqlPrompt 11, and now it does not appear when run as either my regular user or my elevated user.

    What do I need to do to get SqlPrompt 11 functioning again?  Database work without SqlPrompt is painfull!

    Is SQL Prompt supported with SSMS 21?

    Based on my experience, SQL Prompt is not fully integrated into SSMS 21. If it were, we wouldn’t need to go through so many workarounds to get it functioning properly. While the extension may show up, it still doesn’t work as expected. I’ve also noticed duplicate entries in the Extensions list.

    I’ve attempted to install it on SSMS 21 on both a Windows Server and my laptop but have not had any success.  We are installing the latest version of SQL tools.
