DTS problem with err msg "Error in DLL" when started

  • Hi,

    SQL Server 2000 Developer Edition.

    The problem, at DTS startup, it creates an err

    msg: "Error in DLL", I did some research, tried

    [Regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL

    Server\{sqlversion}\Tools\Binn\dtspkg.dll"]

    to register the dtspackage dll, it did but to no

    avail.

    the DTS Wizard would continue, however, it won't

    proceed after selecting a Source datasource.

    FYI, I've downloaded and applied Service Pack 3 for MS

    SQL Server 2000.

    I was thinking about a)back up all dbs; b) removing

    all sql server instances; c) do a fresh restallation.

    Not too sure though. 

    Please advise.  Many thanks.

  • What DLL does is state is the error. I have seen this before when I reimaged my machine and opened a package with an Oracle connection in it. The issue was because I didn't have the Oracle drivers reinstalled at that point so the package could not find the DLL's it need with regards to the Oracle connection.

    Exactly what throws the message, opening the package or a particular component?

  • Sorry, wasn't clear enough, "cocreateinstance error in DLL DTS Wizard" when launching the DTS wizard.  Just resolved it by registering oledb32.dll by hand.  Funny thing is, when I searched googling and searched again comp.database.ms-sqlserver NG yesterday, they did not bring up this solution though it was available.

  • That is life as it seems. Glad you found your answer thou.
