Hi Redgate Support,
I'm encountering the same issue with SQL Data Generator failing to load System.Text.Json, Version=8.0.0.4.
I have attempted the following troubleshooting steps:
Manual DLL placement (adding System.Text.Json.dll to the install directory).
Binding redirects in SQL Data Generator.exe.config .
Installing System.Text.Json 8.0.0.4 via NuGet.
Forcing Redgate SQL Data Generator to use .NET 8 by creating a .runtimeconfig.json .
Setting verbose logging, but no logs are generated for SQL Data Generator.
Despite these efforts, the issue persists. This suggests a potential bug in the installer, possibly due to:
A missing dependency in the installation package.
An incorrect .NET version reference (no .runtimeconfig.json is included).
A failure to dynamically resolve System.Text.Json from the installed .NET runtime.
Has this been resolved for anyone else, or is this a known issue with the installer?
Still busted for me, I just couldn't spend more time troubleshooting this. I also tried to enable logging, but no logs were getting generated. Plus, I'm on a shared workstation so I can't keep kicking people off of SSMS to reinstall. / comments

Hassan - I have v4.6.2.5848 installed, I did perform the update yesterday after I was having this issue. I thought the update would fix it, but it did not. I can also confirm the VM has .NET 8.0.3 installed. / comments

Hi Hassan, I've been using 'Active Directory universal with MFA' for months now, it hasn't been a problem until I tried it yesterday. I see the MFA prompts and can authenticate properly; I can pick the database I want to use but when I click 'ok' to start the project I get the error. I'm passed the MFA prompts at that point. Side note: I am still able to use this authentication method with the Mulit-Script tool, and SQL Compare. / comments
