FIX: SQL Server SP5 Client Setup Does Not Install Sqlgui32.dll

• Microsoft SQL Server version 6.5

SYMPTOMS

When you run Setup.exe for the SQL Server Service Pack 5 (SP5) on a client computer, the updated Sqlgui32.dll file is not installed. This file includes a fix for SQL Enterprise Manager that allows a task or backup to be scheduled for February 29, 2000. This problem only occurs when installing SP5 on a client computer. When SP5 is installed on a SQL Server, the file installs correctly.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, copy the updated Sqlgui32.dll file (468,480 bytes, dated 8/25/1998) from the SP5 installation directory to the Mssql\Binn directory on the client computer.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SQL Server version 6.5. This problem has been corrected in U.S. Service Pack Service Pack 5a for Microsoft SQL Server version 6.5. For information about downloading and installing the latest SQL Server Service Pack, see http://support.microsoft.com/support/sql/.
