| CAUSE:When you install the Microsoft Data Engine (MSDE) from the MSDE redistribution package, it does not install the Sqlmaint.exe tool. WORKAROUND:To work around this behavior: Customers can obtain the Sqlmaint.exe file from the SQL Server Developer Edition that ships with MSDE for Visual Studio CD (\x86\binn\Sqlmaint.exe or \alpha\binn\Sqlmaint.exe) and package that tool in their setup programs.Copy the Sqlmaint.exe file to the MSSQL7\BINN directory on the MSDE installation.STATUS:Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SQL Server 7.0. This problem has been corrected in U.S. Service Pack 2 for Microsoft SQL Server 7.0.No trees were killed in posting this message. However, a large number of electrons were seriously inconvenienced! |
