BUG# NT: 15427 (6.5) (sqlserver)



SYMPTOMS
The SQL Server 6.50 group of icons and the SQL Server Client Utilities icons do not exist on a computer that has been upgraded remotely.



CAUSE
The remote upgrade fails to generate a new group of icons or upgrade the existing group of icons.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, follow these steps:


 * 1) Copy the Setup.exe file from the server to the client machine.
 * 2) Rebuild the SQL Server Registry entries and the icons will be generated. To do this, from a command prompt, type:

'''cd \\binn

setup /t RegistryRebuild = On'''

Be sure to type the setup command exactly as indicated, including capitalization. There must be a space on both sides of the equal sign (=).



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft SQL Server 6.50. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
