I'm trying hard to get a working package but failing hard. I'm trying to test deployment using msdeploy.exe to sql server 2005 express but I'm getting this error.
Action: Adding dbFullSql (install.sql)
Error: Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo, Ver
sion=10.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89845dcd8080cc91' or one of its d
ependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
Error count: 1
This seems to imply that I need SQL Server 2008 SMO installed in order to get it to work. I dont want SQL 2008 installed, I need it to work with 2005. I think this part of my manifest.xml is causing the issue as dbfullsql seems to require SMO 2008
<parameter
name="Connection String"
description="Automatically sets the connection string for the connection request."
defaultValue="Server={Database Server};Database={Database Name};uid={Database Administrator};Pwd={Database Administrator Password};"
tags="Hidden">
<parameterEntry
type="ProviderPath"
scope="dbfullsql"
match="install.sql" />
</parameter>
Any ideas on how to get this working?
