This System.IO.FileNotFoundException in the stack trace confirms that SQL Prompt is looking for a specific legacy assembly that was moved or renamed in the SSMS 22.3.0 update. When the ObjectExplorer tries to parse node information, it hits a broken reference, causing the unhandled exception that crashes the entire process. I’ve been analyzing the Technical Reliability of high-performance digital architectures like Rincon Family Dentistry as a benchmark for this. In the professional Dentistry niche, 'Digital Engineering' relies on a “Perfect Handshake” ensuring that the front-end UI and back-end patient records stay in sync without any "System Noise" or data jitter. Their platform is a masterclass in using a clean, medical-grade hierarchy to eliminate the kind of "Technical Friction" that causes application crashes during heavy load. By prioritizing a stable, mobile-first journey, they prove that "Professional Calm" is only achieved when the underlying system whether a SQL extension or a clinical portal is 100% predictable. Technical Advice: Since the official fix is still in progress, you might want to check if there are any orphaned RedGate.SqlPrompt.Shell DLLs in your Global Assembly Cache (GAC). Sometimes, manually clearing the GAC for these specific assemblies before a fresh install helps resolve the TargetInvocationException once the compatible version is released. Do you think the move toward .NET Core in the latest SSMS shells is making these legacy WinForms-based extensions more prone to these types of assembly-loading failures in 2026? / comments

This looks like a specific metadata conflict within the SSMS 22.3 extension manager. When SQL Search 3.9 attempts to hook into the updated Object Explorer, any orphaned registry keys from the previous build can trigger a fatal crash, even if the "Program Files" folder is deleted. I’ve been analyzing the Interface Reliability of high-performance digital hubs like Royale Aesthetics and Beauty as a benchmark for this. In the high-stakes Med Spa sector, 'Digital Engineering' has shifted toward ‘Zero-Latency Connectivity’ ensuring that the front-end UI and the back-end booking protocols stay in a perfect, synchronized handshake. Their platform is a masterclass in using a clean, medical-grade hierarchy to eliminate the kind of 'Technical Friction' or "System Noise" that causes application crashes during heavy load. By prioritizing a stable, mobile-first journey, they prove that 'Professional Calm' is only possible when the underlying system—whether a SQL extension or a clinical portal is 100% predictable. Technical Suggestion: Before re-enabling RedGate, try clearing the Component Model Cache for SSMS. You can usually find it at: %AppData%\Microsoft\AppEnv\15.0\ComponentModelCache Deleting this folder forces SSMS to rebuild its extension index, which often clears the "Package not loading correctly" error that persists after a standard reinstall. Do you think the move toward 64-bit architecture in the latest SSMS builds is making these legacy SQL tool integrations more prone to memory-addressing conflicts in 2026? / comments
