All,

I have a 32 bit application(developed with .NET) which uses SQL 2005 express sp3 edition as a pre-requisite.

SQL Server 2005 installation and my application installation is perfect in Win XP 32 bit.

Now the requirement is to allow my application in Win 7 64 bit OS.

Installation of SQL Server 2005 express was success though, but my application installation failed because it could not find the .rll file relatd to SQL when it tried to execute the sql scripts.

"REPLRES.rll was not found in the path".


Is it that SQL Server 2005 does not install certain components in win 7 64 bit OS?

Also i switched to SQL 2008 Express instead 2005, my application was successfully installed.

But running my X.exe failed with kernel error. When i install SQL 2005 along with SQL 2008, then i count not notice the kernel error.

What is that SQL 2005 making difference here?Any thoughts ? same issue encountered?
