Not sure, if this is the right place, but...

In Inoosetup 5.3.2 I use - and usually this works ok:

try
SQLServer := CreateOleObject('SQLDMO.SQLServer');
except
RaiseException('Microsoft SQL server Connectivity Tools sind nicht
installiert.'#13#13'(' + GetExceptionMessage + ')');
end;


Yesterday this failed (Win2003, MSSQL2005 client connectivity installed by
me), although the installation was correct and my app could connect to
server.

Does this work ONLY if the server itself is also installed on the same
machine?

Any idea?

TIA Bernd

Bernd,

No, you do not need to be on the server, but you do need SQLDMO on your
client. For SQL Server 2005 SQLDMO is deprecated and is not part of the
standard client install. However, you can download the backward
compatibility package at
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en
Look for: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Backward Compatibility Components

Also, a FWIW from SQL Server 2000 installing SQLDMO without the client
tools.
