Bug#: 14950 (6.50)



SYMPTOMS
When accessing the Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator (MS DTC) from SQL Enterprise Manager, you get the following error message:

Startup of MS DTC administrative components has failed.

You may not have permissions to manager the remote MS DTC or MS DTC does

not support the current national language.



CAUSE
This problem occurs only when the SQL Server utilities are installed on a computer that does not contain the actual SQL Server.

During installation of the client components, the setup routine fails to correctly register the Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator (MS DTC) OLE components.



WORKAROUND
If you double-click the Mssql\Binn\Msdtc.Reg file in File Manager (or Explorer), the required OLE registrations will be made and the problem is solved.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SQL Server version 6.5.
