Hi all, here is what is going on. On my development computer I was able to connect to our remote production SQL Server 2016 / Integration Services from SSMS 16.5 for the past 3 years. This past week I installed Visual Studio 2019. When I now try to open Integration Services from SSMS 16.5, I get the error below. Please know, I am not sure VS 2019 is related to the issue but on my other development computer that DOES NOT have VS 2019 installed I am still able to open Integration Services from SSMS 16.5.
For the past two days I have tried almost everything posted on the internet boards. I even did a full uninstall of SSMS 16.5 and installed SSMS 16.5.3 and it still does not work. I
receive the same exact error. This is making believe there is some corrupt setting in the registry or something like that.
Has anyone come across this when SSMS 16.5.3 or 16.5 cannot open the correct version of SQL Server 2016 Integration Services?
Error:
Connecting to the Integration Services service on the computer "SOMESERVER" failed with the following error: "The specified service does not exist as an installed service.".
