Problem in Meta Data Services

  • I installed the SQL Server to my server machine successfully without having problem.

    But when I login to the EM from the server, I got the "Meta Data Services" window pops up and said "REBBRUI.rll is missing". After I clicked OK button, a "MMC" window pops up and said "Snap-in failed to initialize. Name: Meta Data Services. CLSID: {1DBA4DD4-EB97-4FD2-AB80-9D0D4BA74034}".

    If I access EM from my own PC (I installed the client piece there), I got the similar warning except that in the "Meta Data Services" window, instead aying "REBBRUI.rll is missing", it says "REPODBC.dll is missing".

    Anyone knows what is going on here and is there a solution for this problem?

    Thank you.

  • Sounds like the COM object is corrupt in the registry. Try on both you local machine and the server to search for the object "REPODBC.dll" (first on the server). Then open a command prompt in the directory and CD to that directory. Then type

    C:\Winnt\system32\regsvr32 REPODBC.dll -u

    to unregister it from the registry then

    C:\Winnt\system32\regsvr32 REPODBC.dll

    to reregister it and finally try again.

  • Great, I try your suggestions and it works now. 🙂

    I wander if I can use the same method to fix the missing REBBRUI.rll file. In this case, the file is *.rll not *.dll.

  • Most likely yes. But I have never tried. Let me know.
