Hi Terry,
Sorry I got pretty busy and forgot to post something here.

Please read the whole forum in this thread http://forum.strataframe.net/FindPost33478.aspx

If you haven't download and install my custom SF setup for Windows 10 and look at other threads for manually registering all the SF assemblies, I am almost sure this may fix your issue.

Sorry you had to go to trouble of re-installing everything, that is a major decision.

This pretty well has gotten me completely Stopped. I have a new Win 10 Pro machine. I have reinstalled Win 10 and got all the required .Net Versions and tried installing SqlExpress2014 and I still don't get the SMO from Microsoft installed. I have completely reinstalled Win 10 Pro and then installed Visual Studio 2017 and got all the required .Net Versions and then installed SQLExpress2014 and I don't get the SMO from Microsoft installed. Of course without SMO Strataframe Database Deployment does not work. Can not proceed with BO's and so forth.

Is there another way to find out if SMO has been installed or installed correctly?

I tried to repair the SMO and I tried to repair the whole SQLExpress installation and I still get the same error. I even downloaded a complete install package from Microsoft.

Hi Terry,
The DDT uses the Microsoft Shared Management Objects (SMO) and it looks like yours are not registered.

You could try to repair them via the Add/Remove program or re-download them from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=52676 and install:

• ENU\x64\SharedManagementObjects.msi
• ENU\x86\SharedManagementObjects.msi

I would try to repair them first, the DDT uses a very specific version of the SMO.

I have not used this in a while but I need to change a table structure and I went to DataBase Deployment ToolKit and found the Database I needed to edit this morning and I get the following error.
