Reference Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo.dll

Question

I need to use Server class which is stored in Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo.dll I don\'t see this assembly in usual References dialog. I have found it at C:/Program Files/Microsof

Answer 1

Hmm. Try registering the DLL library by running this at the DOS prompt (I'm curious as to why it's not registered already. I tried using it on a Windows that had SQL2008 installed and didn't have your problem)

"c:\windows\system32\regsvr32.exe C:/Program Files/Microsoft SQL Server/100/SDK/Assemblies/Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo.dll"

You need the quotation marks because of the spaces in the directory names.

If you're running a 64-bit Windows, regsvr32.exe will be in C:\windows\syswow64\

Best of luck. Let us know if this won't help.. Thanks.
