Visual Studio 16.11 - SQL Server Specified Culture Not Found

I just updated to Visual Studio 16.11. I've been trying to create a small Web Forms project using both LocalDB and SQLExpress. I am able to create the MDF file in the App_Data folder using LocalDB. I am able to create a database in SQLExpress.

However, when I try to connect to those databases via Visual Studio 16.11 in Solution Explorer or Server Explorer I encounter the following error message:

"Could not find any resources appropriate for the specified culture or the neutral culture. Make sure "Microsoft.VisualStudio.Data.Providers.SqlServer.SqlViewSupport.xml" was correctly embedded or linked into assembly "Microsoft.VisualStudio.Data.Providers.SqlServer" at compile time, or that all the satellite assemblies required are loadable and fully signed."

I've also tried to connect to them via an SqlDataSource web forms control and encounter the same message. Other topics related to resources not included in the assembly seem related to when its a custom resource. I have not been able to find topics related to when its a VS resource.

It is fixed in version 16.11.2. Please upgrade your Visual Studio 2019 to the latest version and try again.
