SYMPTOMS
The SQL Server 6.50 group of icons and the SQL Server Client Utilities
icons do not exist on a computer that has been upgraded remotely.
CAUSE
The remote upgrade fails to generate a new group of icons or upgrade the
existing group of icons.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, follow these steps:
- Copy the Setup.exe file from the server to the client machine.
- Rebuild the SQL Server Registry entries and the icons will be generated.
To do this, from a command prompt, type:
cd \<root of SQL>\binn
setup /t RegistryRebuild = On
Be sure to type the setup command exactly as indicated, including
capitalization. There must be a space on both sides of the equal sign (=).
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft SQL Server
6.50. We are researching this problem and will post new information
here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
