Sounds like you are missing the Visual C redistributable package (VC_red.msi is the Visual C REDistributable package).

I would look for a copy of KB3045321 from Microsoft and HOPE they still...

As far as I am aware, and if I am understanding what you are saying, you can't do that.  I am PRETTY sure that SSDT would push across all of...

I am 99.999% sure that an INSERT failure is going to be different than a failed login error.  The INSERT failure sounds like you are modifying a maintenance plan with...

Something to note - installing an unsupported application (SQL 2000) on an unsupported OS (any that would support SQL 2000) will result in an unsupported scenario.
