Recently I deployed a site that internally used the new spatial CLR type DbGeography. When I tried to run I got the folowwing error :
Spatial types and functions are not available for this provider because the assembly 'Microsoft.SqlServer.Types' version 10 or higher could not be foundThis basically means that a dll is missing on the box. Since it is non-trivial to find this dll I'll blog about it. You have to install the SQLCltTypes package. If you install the wrong version of the package you might get a problem with SqlServerSpatial not being installed. The version that worken for me on Windows Server 2008 R2 x64 was here (below the x64 folder)
