Hehehe, the downside of using (or trying to use) bleeding-edge technology. I guess, I'll just wait until it bleeds out.

Correction "not available" -> "now available"

One side of the issue unfortunately is that SSMS updates are now being pushed automatically much like Windows updates. So it leads to a reactive response approach instead of proactive.

Meaning that it will sort of "enforce" whatever compatibility issues might occur. Great :(

This morning I updated to the lastest version and now it works fine when using SSMS 2016.
At the end of the install you probably get a warning that settings have to be corrected, just choose for YES and it completes the udate just fine.
Support team, thank you very much for resolving this issue.

SSMS 2016 13.0.15600.2

Sql Assistant doesn't work. There isn't assistan's menu in SSMS.

Thanks for the heads up. It looks like its a new SSMS version released by Microsoft 3 days ago. I just installed it on a test system and after starting it, I got an error referring to an extension error. In the activity log I found multiple errors in red, among them there was a line "Assembly timestamp in MEF Cache does not match loaded assembly timestamp SqlAssist.vs.14, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null; code-base: file:///C:/Program Files (x86)/SQL Assistant 7/Data/SqlAssist.vs.14.dll"

After I re-registered the SQL Assistant add-on, and restarted SSMS everything started working again.

Thank you for reply! How did you re-register? I've tried by changing corresponding option in Assistant's options but nothing changes.

After a succesfull update on my mostly used system I also updated SSMS to 2016 on another computer of mine.
This time SQL Assistant did not work, same error as I had on my other system with the previous version of SQL Assistant.
After requesting a new installeer and re-update my existing version of SQL Assistance it worked again.
Probably has something to do with registrations, anyway it now works on both of my computers, and that is fine.

Close SSMS if it's running.
Open Options dialog from SQL Assistant's system tray application.
Select MS Management Studio on the targets list.
Expand Advanced options
Change Register Add-on option to No and click the Apply button.
Change Register Add-on option to Yes and click the Apply button.

Restart SSMS. If the above doesn't help, repeat, but this time start SQL Assistant in run as Administrator mode.

Hope this helps.

Dear SysOp,

For me - everything works fine.
Now I can say - it is a good work, thanks a lot :)
