Hi when we copy our app to a new system we get the following error:

The type initializer for 'Microsoft.Data.SqlClient.SNINativeMethodWrapper' threw an exception. ---> System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'Microsoft.Data.SqlClient.SNINativeMethodWrapper' threw an exception. ---> System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: Failed to load ...\Ticketing\x86\SNI.dll ---> System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: Das angegebene Modul wurde nicht gefunden

But after we install the SSMS it works. My question is, what does the SSMS install that is needed. Because I just want to install that component and not the complete ManagementStudio.

I had to install the Microsoft OLE DB Driver for SQL Server and than it worked. Thanks for Hans Passant for pointing me in the right direction.
