Hi @hotmail.com bangu00 ,

>what is package showing under c:\windows\assemblty\

C:\WIndows\Assembly folder is the Global Assembly Cache (GAC) used by . NET Run time. Generally, it is advisable to use the . NET command gacutil ( https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/tools/gacutil-exe-gac-tool) to manage the contents of this folder.

> my system not listed any one the packages under c:\windows\assemblty\

Please refer to this about SMO: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/relational-databases/server-management-objects-smo/overview-smo?view=sql-server-ver15
This page provides information on how to install SMO for use by applications and the system requirements to use SMO.

Answer 2

Not clear what your issue is, but it seems SMO = "Server Management Objects" isn't installed. You can get it from related SQL Server Feature Pack, e.g. from
Microsoft® SQL Server® 2016 Service Pack 2 Feature Pack => SharedManagementObjects.msi
