I'm getting the infamous "unable to add data connection". I have followed the logic in this link, but I simply cannot find the right files.
I'm using MS visual studio 2015 community, and installed SQL server with the 2016 CTP2 installation center, while the link helps to those who use MSVS 2015 with SQL 2014 server.
My error message specifies "microsoft sql server management sdk version 12".
when following the above link, i got "missing 2014 components" message, which is obvious since I'm using 2016 server...
And I know I'm not supposed to ask here specific files, but I couldn't find the
right one.
If anyone could direct me to the correct file(s) link, OR ANY CORRECT SOLUTION, It would be much appreceated.
I see from the comments that my situation is unclear: I am using the SQL server 2016, and do not wish to revert back to older versions. I am currently looking for a way to update its "shared components" version to 12.
Many Thanks.
