Balanced Data Distributor Installation Error - sql-server

I am working with SQL Server 2014 SP3 x64 and i have installed the cumulative update 1.
I have installed Visual Studio 2013 Professional and SQL Server Data Tools - Business Intelligence for Visual Studio and it works perfectly (I can design an run SSIS packages without any issue).
I downloaded SSIS Balanced Data Distributor for the following Microsoft download Links:
Microsoft® SQL Server® 2014 SP2 Feature Pack
Microsoft® SQL Server® 2014 Feature Pack
When I run the installation packages (both x64 and x86 - from both links), I get the following Error:
Problem with this windows installer package. A program run as part of the installation did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor
I tried to run the .msi as administrator from cmd with no luck. (I am a member of administrators)
I also checked the following link Problem in Installing the Balanced data Distributor for SSIS 2012 which is about the same error, but i think this is a different situtation.
Any Suggestion?


Step-by-Step solution
First I executed the .msi package with logging
msiexec /i BalancedDistributor-amd64.msi /l*v "install.log"
I checked the log file untill i found the following error:
MSI (s) (5C:EC) [12:32:01:306]: Product: Microsoft Balanced Data Distributor for SQL Server 2014 (x64) -- Error 1722. There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program run as part of the installation did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor. Action RegisterBDD32, location: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\120\DTS\PipelineComponents\, command: regsvr32.exe /s "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\120\DTS\PipelineComponents\TxBDD.dll"
Which means that the package encountered an error during the Dll registration.
I extracted the .msi package using 7zip , and it contains two files BDDDll32 and BDDDll64
I renamed these files to TxBDD.dll (from the installation log this is the original name of the DLL)
I copy the files to the following directories:
32-bit >> C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\120\DTS\PipelineComponents
64-bit >> C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\120\DTS\PipelineComponents
After that i started cmd as Administrator and i executed the following commands:
regsvr32.exe /s "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\120\DTS\PipelineComponents\TxBDD.dll
regsvr32.exe /s "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\120\DTS\PipelineComponents\TxBDD.dll
After that i started Visual Studio and on SSIS toolbox i click Refresh Items, and the Balanced Data Distributor is shown.
Side Note: After checking the Event Viewer >> Windows Log >> Application, i also found the Error message listed above

Executing SSIS package using command prompt

I am trying to execute an SSIS package using command prompt.
I have visual studio 2019 community edition installed and have selected 'Data storage and processing' during the installation.
Also installed SQL server integration services projects from visual studio extensions.
I looked for Dtexec.exe and found it at the below mentioned locations.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\110\DTS\Binn
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\120\DTS\Binn
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\130\DTS\Binn
I couldn't find a 64bit Dtexec.exe under C:\Program Files
I have created an SSIS package using visual studio 2019.
I tried executing the package from command line using a batch file.
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\120\DTS\Binn\dtexec.exe" /FILE "C:\Users\Ash\source\repos\DR Activity 1\DR Activity 1\Package.dtsx" /MAXCONCURRENT " -1 " /CHECKPOINTING OFF /REPORTING EWCDI
pause
I get an error message stating
There was an exception while loading Script Task from XML: System.Exception: The Script Task "ST_07a17c9047774ce7ad850af7a94a9ca5" uses version 15.0 script that is not supported in this release of Integration Services

SSDT generate and publish database changes

I am currently using the following command to generate a database script using SSDT:
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\150\DAC\bin\SqlPackage.exe" /Action:Script /sf:DB.dacpac /Profile:publish.xml /op:Script.sql
and the following command to publish:
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\150\DAC\bin\SqlPackage.exe" /Action:Publish /sf:DB.dacpac /Profile:publish.xml
Is there anyway we can merge them so it can generate a script (for audit purpose) as well as publish on the database?

Yes, it is quite recent but when you publish you can also use "/DeployScriptPath:" and give it a path and it will save the script.
Older versions of SSDT you had to do exactly what you are doing but we can now use this to do it in one step.
This will have the latest sqlpackage.exe in case you need it:

Can not run SSIS Package 2015 in 64 bit mode

I installed SQL Server 2017 Enterprise on Windows Server 2016 Standard. Then I installed Visual Studio 2015 enterprise edition and SSDT 2015.
Now I need to debug my SSIS package in 64 bit mode (because of the memory limitation in 32 bit mode). But when I run the package in visual studio, it always uses 32 bit version of DtsDebugHost.exe, although I have set Run64BitRuntime=true.
When I search for DtsDebugHost.exe in "Program Files (x86)" I find it in:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\110\DTS\Binn
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\120\DTS\Binn
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\130\DTS\Binn (this one always runs)
When I search for DtsDebugHost.exe in "Program Files" I only find it in:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE\Extensions\Microsoft\SSIS\140\Binn

SQL Server Config manager error: Cannot connect to WMI provider

I have searched online material and ran the mofcomp command as recommended: mofcomp “C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\120\Shared\sqlmgmproviderxpsp2up.mof”
I am now getting this error message:

Can you please help me out, been 2 weeks sited with this problem

Run Cmd as Administrator and execute these commands:
First go to SQL Shared folder according to your sql version:
SQL 2008: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Shared\
SQL 2012: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Shared\
SQL 2014: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\120\Shared\
SQL 2017: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\140\Shared\ -------> My version is 2017
SQL 2019: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\150\Shared\
Find more versions here
cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\140\Shared"
Then:
mofcomp sqlmgmproviderxpsp2up.mof
Update:
The problem occurs because the Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) provider configuration file for manage SQL Server services is missing. So the mofcomp command repairs or recreates it.
Here is more explanation:

The best solution for me was to uninstall the instance and reinstall a fresh instance. This worked 100%.

What worked for me was to download the SQLEXPR_x64_Enu, run the Setup.exe and use the Repair option.

I have the same issue but it is not working at first. Second I already restarted my PC but it is not working either. What I found out is that you will run this on the folder where your SQL Server Management Studio is installed and not on the MS SQL Instance folder.
My SQL Server Management Studio which is 2016 is installed in
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\130
But I keep on running changing folder on which I installed on my SQL Server 2012 instance:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Shared\
After that, just run the command: mofcomp sqlmgmproviderxpsp2up.mof as everyone suggest in here.
So keep it mind the folder since that may affect your troubleshooting.

By trial and error I finally found this working solution:
I searched all sqlmgmproviderxpsp2up.mof files under C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server
Running CMD as administrator I did for each result found above:
i) Change directory to go to the directory
ii) Run mofcomp sqlmgmproviderxpsp2up.mof
Reboot
Then, it works.

doing a fresh OS installation also worked for me as well. but this is a pain. Sometimes you can run the:
“C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\120\Shared\sqlmgmproviderxpsp2up.mof”
Sometimes it helps and sometimes it doesn't, all you need to do is do a fresh OS installation and then SQL installation.

After Installing Visual Studio 2017 I am unable to debug in SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS)

After Installing VS2017 I am unable to debug queries in SQL Server Management Studio 2012 (SSMS). I keep getting the error:
Unable to start program 'MSSQL:://YOUR_SERVER/YOUR_DATABASE/sys/=0'
A Visual Studio DLL, coloader80.dll, is not correctly installed.
Please repair you Visual Studio installation via 'Add or Remove
Programs' in Control Panel.
If the problem persis, you can manually register coloader80.dll from
the command prompt with 'regsvr32 "%CommonProgramFiles%\Microsoft
Shared\VS7Debug\coloader80.dll'

From: Developer Community.
To fix this issue, you can either:
Open a command prompt with administrator privileges and execute the following command:
reg add HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\TypeLib{6A1A7D39-8449-4287-8EF0-CE256582C940}\8.0\0\win32 /t REG_SZ /d "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\VS7Debug\coloader80.tlb"
Alternatively you can execute:
regsvr32 "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\VS7Debug\coloader80.dll"
The correct registration will be included in future versions of Visual Studio.
