EF Core 3.1.1 TypeInitializationException (SNI)

See original GitHub issue

I get the following exception whenever I try to connect to SQL Server with EF Core:

The code works fine on my dev box but not when I deploy.

EF Core version: 3.1.1 Database provider: Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.SqlServer Target framework: net 4.7.2 Operating system: Windows Server 2016 Standard .Net Framework version: 4.8 Nuget version: 5.3.0 IDE: Visual Studio 2019

I have read about several similar issues/fixes but nothing seems to work for me. I have tried adding the following packages to the project:

System.Data.SqlClient 4.8 Microsoft.Data.Client 1.0

Also, I have updated Net Framework and VC++ Redistributable on the server to the latest versions.

My issue is not the same as as #354.

In my case, SNI.dll is not locked an the error message is:

The type initializer for 'Microsoft.Data.SqlClient.SNINativeMethodWrapper' threw an exception. Failed to load C:\Octopus\...\1.0.6\x86\SNI.dll The specified module could not be found

Although SNI.dll is in fact present (and unlocked) in the folder in question.

Oops! I should have given Write permissions then. @ajcvickers would you mind trying again?
