When clicking "Import Files" I'm getting the exception "Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.SqlServer.Instapi, Version=12.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89845dcd8080cc91' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified."
I have SQL Server 2012, which contains the ClearTrace tables in their own DB.
It looks like I have the SMO assemblies in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\120\SDK\Assemblies
I'm trying to import a single trace file.
I get the same error with both ClearTrace versions 47 and 48.
What am I doing wrong? Any help would be much appreciated.
Are you sure that's where SMO is located? I find mine at C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\120\SDK\Assemblies. I'm not sure it makes a difference. Although nothing odd surprised me about SMO anymore.
Is there a .txt file in the same location as the ClearTrace.EXE file? That should have a full stack trace that I'd really like to see.
