SQL Refactor menu in SSMS is greyed out
Published 15 May 2013
When SQL Server Management Studio loads, the SQL Refactor menu appears in the menu bar, but it is unavailable (greyed out).
Possible causes
This can happen either because the add-in had failed to load, or that SQL Server Management Studio needs to initialize the add-in.
How to fix
Initialize the add-in. To do this, open a command prompt on the affected computer and run this command:
SqlWb /setup
If the menu is still unavailable, try re-installing SQL Refactor.
