dbForge SQL Tools Missing After Installing or Updating SSMS

If dbForge SQL Tools Are Missing After Installing or Updating SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS)

Please note that dbForge SQL Tools integrate only with the version of SSMS already installed on your PC. Therefore, if you have updated or installed a new version of SSMS, we recommend the following steps:

  1. Uninstall SQL Tools:

    • Ensure that the current version of SQL Tools is completely removed from your device.

  2. Install the Required Version of SSMS:

    • Download and install the version of SSMS you need for your tasks.

  3. Reinstall SQL Tools:

    • Download the latest version of dbForge SQL Tools from the official Devart website and follow the installation instructions.

The same process applies to Visual Studio (VS) when working with dbForge SQL Complete.

By following these steps, you can restore the integration of SQL Tools with the selected version of SSMS or Visual Studio.
