    Hi there, one of my programmers developed an application using OSQL and BCP which runs with his scripts on our SQL Server.

    I like to run this new script on a Application server so tried to copy the OSQL.EXE and BCP.EXE over and registered the sqlncli.dll that it fell over on and then it just runs but gives message unable to run.

    Any one know what other files are necessary or do I need to install certain parts when installing SQL Server on the Application Server.

    I checked the same version 64 bit machine running 64 bit of osql/bcp

    Thanks

    I am not sure about osql.exe as that tool has been deprecated since the release of SQL Server 2005 in favor of sqlcmd.exe. You can install bcp.exe and the Native Client by choosing the "Management Tools" option during installation using the the SQL Server media.

    Thanks - I forgot about the unsupport of the version and will pass it along to our developer that the tool is not supported and also try to just install the tools.
