Hi All,
I'm in the process of upgrading an app that used to use DMO to use SMO.
While I'd built a package to distribute the DMO bits, I've been trying to
find the bits that I need to be able to distribute the SMO bits.
I can get it from the SQL CD by installing the Client Connectivity bits, but
that seems a little OTT.
The specific DLL that it was failing to find was
Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo, but I guess this was probably the first
of many.

So...

Is there an MSI that I can add to my installer to make sure that all the
bits for SMO are going to be in place or do I really need to tell people to
install the client components from the SQL 2005 DVD?

TIA

If you just want SMO, take a look at the Feature Pack msi
for Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Management Objects Collection
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...DisplayLang=en
There are a couple of other msi packages to install - you
can find the info in the Management Objects Collection
description in the above download link.
