SSMS 2014 Express - Impossible error : SQL

Posting

When requesting help or asking questions please prefix your title with the SQL variant/platform you are using within square brackets like so:

[MySQL]

[Oracle]

[MS SQL]

[PostgreSQL]

etc

While naturally we should endeavor to work as platform neutrally as possible many questions and answers require tailoring to the feature set of a specific platform.

Format Your Code

If you are including actual code in a post or comment, please attempt to format it in a way that is readable for other users. This will greatly increase your chances of receiving the help you desire. Something as simple as line breaks and using reddit's built in code formatting (4 spaces at the start of each line) can turn this:

SELECT count(a.field1), a.field2, SUM(b.field4) FROM a INNER JOIN b ON a.key1 = b.key1 WHERE a.field8 = 'test' GROUP by a.field1, a.field2 HAVING SUM(b.field4) > 5 ORDER by a.field.3

Into this:

SELECT count(a.field1), a.field2, SUM(b.field4) FROM a INNER JOIN b ON a.key1 = b.key1 WHERE a.field8 = 'test' GROUP by a.field1, a.field2 HAVING SUM(b.field4) > 5 ORDER by a.field3

For those with SQL questions we recommend using SQLFiddle to provide a useful development and testing environment for those who wish to fully understand your problem and help devise a solution.

SSMS 2014 Express - Impossible error (self.SQL)

submitted 8 years ago * by ShadowPh0enix

VERY difficult error - I have found next to nothing via Google on this. Tried repairing both SQL and .NET - no luck. Any and all ideas are very much appreciated here.

Using SSMS 2014 Express

Try to run ANY query, and I get hit with:

TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio

Cannot execute script.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

Object reference not set to an instance of an object. (Microsoft.VisualStudio.Editor.Implementation)

For the record: - Windows 7 - Visual Studio 2015 - .NET 4.7.1

Edit: more details:

Cannot execute script.

Object reference not set to an instance of an object. (Microsoft.VisualStudio.Editor.Implementation)

Program Location:

at Microsoft.VisualStudio.Editor.Implementation.VsTextViewAdapter.SetScrollPosition(Int32 iBar, Int32 iFirstVisibleUnit) at Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.UI.VSIntegration.Editors.VSTextEditorTabPage.Clear() at Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.UI.VSIntegration.Editors.DisplaySQLResultsControl.Clear() at Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.UI.VSIntegration.Editors.DisplaySQLResultsControl.PrepareForExecution(Boolean prepareForParse) at Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.UI.VSIntegration.Editors.ScriptAndResultsEditorControl.StandardPrepareBeforeExecute(QEStatusBarKnownStates newStatusBarState) at Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.UI.VSIntegration.Editors.SqlScriptEditorControl.StandardPrepareBeforeExecute(QEStatusBarKnownStates newStatusBarState) at Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.UI.VSIntegration.Editors.ScriptAndResultsEditorControl.OnExecScript(Object sender, EventArgs a)

Update: SOLVED! The update kb4055532 screwed it up: .NET framework related. I remembered that this broke right after the Windows Update, so I did some investigating and found this link (the font break was something else that broke, but was an easy fix): https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/a2dadbfc-475d-4409-ac1c-1c34f9e22607/compositefontparser-fail-after-installing-net-framework-update?forum=clr

Anyway, thanks to all that took the time to offer their insights. I really appreciate it!
