Timeline for SQL Server 2016 support

[plebsori]

I just installed SMSS 2016 and then tried to install SQL Complete v5.5.136 Express and it does not recognize that SSMS 2016 is installed on my computer. The option is grayed out. What is the problem?

UPDATE: I got it working by creating a registry entry for SMSS 2016 in the right place as follows:

The setup program was looking for en entry at: SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\AppEnv\10.0\Apps\ssms_13.0

However SMSS 2016 during its installation created its entry at
SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\AppEnv\14.0\Apps\ssms_13.0

By duplicating the 14.0 key at 10.0, the setup program detected the correct location and went forward with the installation.

Thanks! This worked for me.

Reg patch for reference

Code: Select all

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\AppEnv\10.0\Apps\ssms_13.0]
"AppName"="ssms"
"StubExePath"="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft SQL Server\\130\\Tools\\Binn\\ManagementStudio\\ssms.exe"

Hi,

Schema Compare is failing to compare Snapshots / Script Folders created for SQL Server 2016 (I've already reported it to Devart Support). Do you have any updates on SQL Server 2016 Support?

I saw in the new that new versions of Developer tools are ready with SQL Server 2016 support.
https://www.devart.com/news/2016/sql-de ... undle.html

But if I log in into Customer Portal, I see new version except for these:
* Schema Compare - there is a link for the new version, but on the download page I see "File not found." error.
* Source Control - still have the old version
* Object Search - is pointing to old 1.0 version

We have fixed this issue. Please try again.
