Unable to import SQL Azure V12 BACPAC: “type Microsoft.Data.Tools.Schema.Sql.SqlAzureV12DatabaseSchemaProvider is not valid”

Question

I am trying to import the exported BACPAC from an SQL Azure (v12) database into a local SQL Server 2012 instance, but I keep getting the error below. I have tried installing

Answer 1

To fix import error with [sys].[script_deployment_databases] from exported V12 Database you have to install:

1. CU13
2. Microsoft SQL Server Data-Tier Application Framework (February 2015) (you must install BOTH the x64 and x86 versions).

EDIT: CU13 is not necessary, just try second link first!

Answer 2

I'm using version 11.0.2100.60 and had the same issue. Installed Microsoft® SQL Server® Data-Tier Application Framework (February 2015). All worked fine after that.
