An easy way to get all 7 ddls that related on this issue is

Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo.dll,
Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfoExtended.dll,
Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Sdk.Sfc.dll,
Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo.dll,
Microsoft.SqlServer.SmoExtended.dll,
Microsoft.SqlServer.SqlClrProvider.dll,
Microsoft.SqlServer.SqlEnum.dll

Create a separate console application

download those using nuget

PM> Install-Package Microsoft.SQLServer.SMO -Version 12.0.2000.8

build the application and all dlls will be in the bin folder ... you can copy from there and add reference to your existing application

https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.SQLServer.SMO/12.0.2000.8
