Upgraded using disk to 1.3 now MSDE error

Jan 20, 2006 1 Replies

I used the disk to upgrade MSDE on my "server". We are a peer-to-peer running XP Pro.



I followed the instructions in the HTML file. It said to un-install both MSDE and MS RMS, then run the RMS 1.3 setup and it would install the new MSDE.



It did that just fine. But, when it went to start the service, I got the message "cannot find CLUSAPI.DLL" something about re-uinstalling but after a few seconds the service does start. I ran a "repair" and still got the error.



I can connect into my new database from other computers.



Is this a problem?



Thanks.


Mickie,

Search your machine and see if it exists in your \Windows\System32 and \Windows\System32\dllcache folders.

If not, a copy is in your \Windows\ServicepackFiles\i386 folder. Copy it into your \Windows\System32 and \Windows\System32\dllcache folders and restart.
