Googling the error message gives some suggestions - what have you tried?

Hi.

Part of the problem is that Converter.csproj has hard-coded relative paths to assembly references:

      <HintPath>..\..\..\..\..\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\100\SDK\Assemblies\Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo.dll</HintPath>
      <HintPath>..\..\..\..\..\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\100\SDK\Assemblies\Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Sdk.Sfc.dll</HintPath>
      <HintPath>..\..\..\..\..\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\100\SDK\Assemblies\Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo.dll</HintPath>
      <HintPath>..\..\..\..\..\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\100\SDK\Assemblies\Microsoft.SqlServer.SqlEnum.dll</HintPath>

I think it may be better if these were referenced as NuGet packages instead.

Thank you.

I'm afraid I no longer have the time to maintain this tool. Anyone who wants to take it over is welcome, or just submit a pull request.
