Dax Studio 3.0.11 - Windows 10 - Lockdown Enterprise Laptop "Could not load file or assembly 'DaxStudio.SqlFormatter' ... The system cannot find the file specified about daxstudio

That sounds like there might have been an issue during your install. Can you check the c:\program files\DAX Studio\bin folder to see if the DaxStudio.SqlFormatter.dll file is there? If it's not, can you try and get DAX Studio re-installed? Maybe also check the Windows Event log to make sure that it was not blocked by an AV program.

Thank you for the quick response Darren.
The file is not present. I will follow up with the system admins to fix.
It is fantastic to know where to look - the admins can make a specific check as part of the install process etc.
Very much appreciated. Thank you.

I've double checked the 3.0.11 installer and this file gets correctly written out on my machine. If you want a quick fix this file can also be found in the portable .zip download and simply copying it into the correct folder should fix this issue.

Thanks Darren. I've tried to copy the file off my Virtual Desktop - copying into the bin folder requires Admin privileges.

Friendly admin has copied the file in place and I can confirm that Server timings now work.
They will investigate as to why the file is not present as part of the install. Their documentation has One checkbox (security related) being ticked as part of the install - but I can't see it when I do the install on my Virtual Desktop. Anyway... for the admins to resolve now. Thank you for your guidance.
