The latest release of SqlTzLoader.exe at https://github.com/mj1856/SqlServerTimeZoneSupport/releases looks for the DB connection string in a config file, whereas the instructions at https://github.com/mj1856/SqlServerTimeZoneSupport indicate you should use the command line to specify the connection string.
