Bug #: 20000151 (SQL Server 8.0)
Microsoft distributes Microsoft SQL Server 2000 fixes as one downloadable file. Because the fixes are cumulative, each new release contains all the hotfixes and all the security fixes that were included with the previous SQL Server 2000 fix release.
SUMMARY
This article describes the following about this hotfix release:
- The issues that are fixed by this hotfix package
- The prerequisites for installing the hotfix package
- Whether you must restart the computer after you install the hotfix package
- Whether the hotfix package is replaced by any other hotfix package
- Whether you must make any registry changes
- The files that are contained in the hotfix package
SYMPTOMS
You install Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Service Pack 4 (SP4) on an Itanium-based computer that is running a 64-bit version of Microsoft SQL Server 2000. When you do this, some 32-bit applications that are running on the local computer may stop working. The applications that stop working use SQL Distributed Management Objects (SQL-DMO) or SQL Virtual Device Interface (SQL-VDI) APIs. Additionally, you may receive the following error messages:
CAUSE
This problem occurs because the 32-bit SQL-DMO and SQL-VDI APIs have a dependency on the Msvcr71.dll file. However, the Msvcr71.dll file was not included with the 64-bit SQL Server 2000 SP4 package for Itanium-based operating systems. Therefore, after you apply SQL Server 2000 SP4, any 32-bit applications that use SQL-DMO or SQL-VDI APIs that run on the Itanium-based computer may experience this problem.
RESOLUTION
The installer does not install this hotfix correctly on x64-based systems. This installation issue occurs when the following conditions are true:
- The system uses the Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) AMD64 processor architecture or the Intel Extended Memory 64 Technology (EM64T) processor architecture.
Note This issue does not occur on systems that use the Intel Itanium processor architecture.
- The system is running a 64-bit version of the Microsoft Windows Server operating system.
- The system is running a 32-bit version of SQL Server 2000.
We have corrected this installation issue in later builds of SQL Server 2000, starting with version 8.00.2244. When a customer who is running SQL Server 2000 on an x64-based system requests this hotfix, we will provide a build that includes this hotfix and that can be installed correctly on an x64-based system. The build that we provide will be version 8.00.2244 or a later version.
