Could not load file or assembly ‘Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Sdk.Sfc’

June 29, 2009 | In Development |

I received this error message when I was trying to add a data connection to a SQL Server 2008 instance from Visual Studio Web Developer 2008 Express in Windows 7:

Unable to add data connection.

Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Sdk.Sfc, Version=10.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89845dcd8080cc91' or one of its dependencies.  The system cannot find the file specified.

For me the answer was install the following from the Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Feature Pack, August 2008 site: 

  • Microsoft SQL Server Management Objects

and do a repair install on

  • Microsoft SQL Server System CLR Types
