Cannot expand MSDB folder

  • We've managed to fix the problem.

    The registry key pointing to the msdtssrvr.ini.xml file was pointing to D:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Binn

    it should have been D:\Program Files(x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Binn

  • It sounds as if the file was in the wrong place and the registry entry was correct, since you said that everything was 64-bit.

  • interesting - as far as i'm aware the files haven't been moved....

    i'll have to do some more digging then

  • Possible explanation

    Quote:

    By default, a 64-bit computer that has both the 64-bit and 32-bit versions of an Integration Services command prompt utility installed will run the 32-bit version at the command prompt. The 32-bit version runs because the directory path for the 32-bit version appears in the PATH environment variable before the directory path for the 64-bit version. (Typically, the 32-bit directory path is <drive>:\Program Files(x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\100\DTS\Binn, while the 64-bit directory path is <drive>:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\DTS\Binn.)

  • Had this same issue again but this time it was because the instance name was NOT specified in the config file when it should have been.

    Thought it would be useful to post up the fix here 🙂
