DMO ListInstalledInstances return NULL in WOW64

    Hi all

    I know DMO is old but I just hope it works with SQL Server 2008, so I wrote some test code to get a list of installed instance via DMO and run it on Windows 2008 Server 64-bit with SQL Server 2008 64-bit.

    I found out that it works well if the code is built into a x64 application but ListInstalledInstances will return a NULL list if the same cold is built into a win32 application. How can I make DMO work correctly with a 64-bit SQL Server in WOW64 environment? Is there anything special to do? I installed DMO from "SQL Server 2005 Backward compatibility" package.

    Hi,

    I had the same issue. I found out that it does not work in a 32-bit application unless the service SQLBrowser is running. The 32-bit version of the SQL-DMO COM API must rely on the SQLBrowser service.

    Give it a try and see if it solves your problem.

    Hi

    I am also having the same problem. Were you able to solve it? Please let me know the solution if you solved it.
