MSDE Multiple Instance

I am trying to set up multiple instances of MSDE 2000 for use by Trend Micro virus scan products. I have the instance set up but I am trying to access svrnetcn.exe to set up named pipes and TCP/IP and I keep getting a 126 error "The Specified Module could not be found". Any ideas how to set this up.

thanks,

eric

This seems to be a general Windows error that indicates that you are either missing certain DLLs that are required to launch this program. The only information I found on this specific to SQL is at http://www.experts-exchange.com/Databases/Microsoft_SQL_Server/Q_21455359.html. Check that out and see if it sheds light on your situation.

I had this same issue and ended up searching for that 126 error message. I found a somewhat related reference to an older service pack being installed than what it wanted, so maybe SVRNETCN.exe or some of its required files were corrupted. Who knows. Maybe at some point I installed an older version of MSDE over a newer version and broke it. I went to add/remove programs and removed that new Instance of Trend from the system. Then I download the MSDE 2000 SP4 install package and installed that on the system for Trend (setup.exe INSTANCENAME=Trend SAPWD="strongpwd" SECURITYMODE=sql). Once that was on I used OSQL and checked the version of MSDE to verify SP4 was there. Then I ran SVRNETCN.exe with no problems and enabled "Named Pipes" and "TCP/IP". Then I ran the Trend Control Manager install with no errors.

If you need any more specific information than that let me know and I'll dig up links for you. Good luck.
