Answer 1

hey @codest ,

I assume you have already found a solution for this. However, I had the same error and it was due to me installing a MySql connector. Once I deleted this, it fixed the issue. All I had to do was restart SSMS.

Answer 2

Hi,

(1) Sometimes we don't need to solve the source of an issue if we can remove the source of the issue.

You are using an old version of SSMS. Current version is 19.1. Please try to install the new version and check again

https://learn.microsoft.com/sql/ssms/download-sql-server-management-studio-ssms?view=sql-server-ver16&WT.mc_id=DP-MVP-5001699

(2) You describe the error but not the steps you did to get this error. I assume that you are using a wizard gui or maybe this related to the database diagram?!? If installing the new version did not solve your issue, then please try to elaborate what you are using and how.

Note: I am not familiar which this error but it might be related to application which was removed not clean. I usually recommend NOT to install client's application (like SSMS) in the production server and if this is not the production server then I would probably try to re-install .Net Framework.
