I'm trying to install a fresh version of Umbraco 4.7 to try it out. I already have websites up and running on the same server using v4.5.2.
When I try to install the new version, I am using the Microsoft Web Platform Installer. I complete stage 1 and stage 2, and then get an error message: The SQL provider cannot run because of a missing dependency. Please make sure that Microsoft SQL Server Management Objects (Version 10 or higher) is installed.
I'm not too certain as i haven't had that much experience with the installer, but have you checked that the installation is working in a NET 4.0 envoirment? The new 4.7.0 package only supports NET 4.0, whereas 4.5.2 has a version for NET 3.5, and NET 4.0.
Sometimes WebPI doesn't install the correct dependencies required. I suggest you try installing SQL Server 2008 (or R2) Management Objects on their own from WebPI, then try installing Umbraco again.

Any ideas why this might be, and how to fix it?

Hello Allan,

Might be the problem. :-)
