The error message "could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.SqlServer.DtsRuntimeWrap'" typically occurs when there is a problem with the installation or configuration of the Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) or the SQL Server Data-Tier Application Framework (DACFx).
Here are a few steps you can try to fix the issue:
- Check if the Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) or the SQL Server Data-Tier Application Framework (DACFx) is installed correctly. Uninstall and reinstall it if necessary.
- Verify that the version of SSDT or DACFx that you are using is compatible with the version of SQL Server you have installed.
- Check the GAC (Global Assembly Cache) for the DLL file that is causing the error. If the DLL is missing or corrupt, try reinstalling the package or repairing the installation.
- Check if there are any other applications or services that are using the same DLL file and causing a conflict. Try stopping or uninstalling these programs to see if the error goes away.
- Make sure that the Microsoft SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) runtime is installed and configured correctly.
- Finally if all above steps fails, Try repairing or reinstalling the Microsoft SQL Server.
- Clean up and reset the environment variables related to SQL Server. This can be done by going to the System Properties, Advanced tab, and clicking on the Environment Variables button. Look for any variables related to SQL Server, such as SQLPATH, SQLBROWSER, SQLBACKUPDIR, etc, and remove or reset them.
- Check the event viewer logs for any related error messages. These may provide additional information on the cause of the problem.
- Confirm that the version of the runtime that is installed is compatible with the version of SSIS that you are using.
- Check the permissions on the folder where the DLL file is located. Make sure that the user account that is running the application has full control over the folder and its contents.
- If you're using a 64-bit operating system, make sure that you have the 64-bit version of the DLL file. If you're using a 32-bit operating system, make sure that you have the 32-bit version of the DLL file.
- Finally, if the problem persists after trying all of the above steps, you may need to contact Microsoft Support for further assistance.
Please keep in mind that, this is a general solution, the steps might change depending on your environment, and the version of SQL server, SSDT and DACFx you are using.
