Unable to load sql server oledb provider resource dll. The application cannot continue.

    I have a small application that runs on server 2003 and been running flawlessly for some time now.  The server was taken down for maintenance (security patches and nortons added).  When the server came back up my program ran and did its thing for 9 hours and then got this error message.

    Unable to load sql server oledb provider resource dll.  The application cannot continue.

    I closed out the application and restarted it and has been running fine since then.  I did some research and found that this error refers to 2 files not having the same version, sqloledb.rll and sqloledb.dll.  I checked these 2 files on the server and they had the same creating, modified, and version.  Oddly the creation date was 2 days before it crashed and the modified date was over a year before the creation date.

    I have to answer to higher powers and tell them what happened and how it was resolved, but as it stands all I can tell them is what was supposedly wrong.  I don't know for sure.  Any help here?

    This is very interesting.  Why would you load norton virus check on your sql server.  I though that nortan might take the database file over and turn your database unavailable untill it is done checking...

    This server isn't only for SQL server, it runs other applications for us too.

    But you got me thinking now, it would make since that the files were unavailable during the virus check possibly.  Is it unusual to have nortons on a SQL server??
