SnapshotGenerationAgent GenerateSnapshot throws an error: The native replication resource dll failed
I have installed package Microsoft.SqlServer.SqlManagementObjects v140.17199.0
I generated Distributor, Publication, Subscription successfully.
but on SnapshotGenerationAgent.GenerateSnapshot() I got an error:
System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for
'Microsoft.SqlServer.Replication.StringResources' threw an exception. ---> System.ApplicationException: The native replication resource dll failed to load.

The type initializer for 'Microsoft.SqlServer.Replication.StringResources' threw an exception.
what could have caused the error?
I am using SQL 2014 Server Standard Edition.
Could somebody please help me!!!!
