Hi PATC_60,

Are you getting the following error message?

“could not load assembly Microsoft.SqlServer.SqlTDiagM version 11.0.0.0”

If that is the case, the issue could be caused by that the Microsoft.SqlServer.SqlTDiagM.dll file of 11.0 version is missing on your computer. You can install SQL Server 2012 Express edition to solve this issue, for more details, please review the following similar thread.
