SYMPTOMS
If you install Microsoft SQL Server 7.0 Service Pack 2 (SP2) on a computer that has the SharePoint Portal Server client components installed, and then you remove SQL Server, the Category Assistant may be disabled after you remove the program. In addition, you may no longer be able to use the content source administration functionality.



CAUSE
This issue can occur because the Microsoft Search (MSSearch) service is shared among programs such as SharePoint Portal Server and SQL Server. When you remove SQL Server, the dynamic-link library (.dll) files that MSSearch uses are unregistered.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, reregister Mssitlb.dll and Srchadm.dll:
 * 1) Click Start, click Run, and then type the following commands:
 * 2) * regsvr32 &quot; :\program files\common files\microsoft shared\mssearch\common\mssitlb.dll&quot;
 * 3) * regsvr32 &quot; :\program files\common files\microsoft shared\mssearch\bin\srchadm.dll&quot;
 * 4) Press ENTER after you type each command.
