I recieved the following error 'all of a sudden' when openning a table or view in SQL Server:

"The query cannot be executed because some files are missing.
Run setup again to make sure the required files are registered"

Allthough this is ofcourse very strange I tried to re-install the enterprise manager, when this didn't work I tried a lot things and the last thing I tried was

- uninstall sqlserver (from the controlpanel)
- manual delete the program directories
- install sql server 2000

this didn't work (still the same error)

finally I tried to do the 'registry rebuild' option from the setup program, this also didn't help.

Anyone had these problems before?

Do you get this error when you connect to your SQL Server with Enterprise Manager or with Interdev? 'Cause there is something very similar documented for Interdev (KB article Q175802).

Do you have any problems querying your database from Query Analyzer?

Thanks for your reply.

The problem is only with Enterprise manager, I can retrieve data perfectly with query analyzer.

I read the KB article, but that doesn't seem to apply to me.

any other thoughts?

Are you on Windows XP? Try the workaround portion of this article:
