Installing SQL DMO in Visual Basic

  • Hi everyone.

    I´ve developed an Visual Basic 6 application which uses the SqlDmo.dll object.

    In the way for installing the application, I´ve developed an Visual Studio Installer project, but:

    1.- If I include the sqldmo.dll as selfregister object, in doesn´t register in the client machine.

    2.- Should I include in my Installer project another package ( like a .msm or .msi ) for installing properly the SQLDMO??

    I have to say that I don´t want to install the SQL Server Client in all my clients

    Thanks in advance

  • This is my experience with the sqldmo.dll on the client. I wrote my app using a reference to SQLDMO.dll version 80. Created package using P&D wizard. The dll ends up getting installed in the app path which you can see in Setup.lst. My user is able to install my app and run it successfully. I'm not sure how to determine what the registry setting is after installation. But my user is able to run the app successfully. I hope this helps you.

  • I dont think there is a merge module for it. Easy enough to build one. Use Depends.exe to see if has other dependencies that need to be included.
