I’m using SQL Server Management Studio 2008 and SQL Server 2008.
Currently, I cannot create new database diagram from the SSMS 2008 on an SQL Server 2008 instance.
Has anyone ever experienced this ?
The problem started after I tried to install Visual Studio 11 Beta, and apparently the Beta also installs SQL Server 2012 RC0. Now I have uninstalled the Visual Studio 11 Beta and the SQL Server 2012 that goes along with it.
EDIT :
Error message that shows when I tried to create new database diagrams is : “The specified module could not be found (MS Visual Database Tools)”
I had the same problem but never found an explanation of what was wrong. I ended up uninstalling SQL Server 2012, uninstalling Visual Studio 11 Beta, and then reinstalling the Visual Studio 11 Beta (keeping SQL Server 2008). I can now create DB diagrams from SSMS 2008, but not from within Visual Studio 11 Beta (I don’t think Visual Studio 11 Beta supports the feature, at least not for SQL Server 2008).
