I'm trying to create an install for just the sqldmo.dll and its dependencies. i created an object in InstallShield, but it won't register the sqldmo.dll. I have included the following files in the install;
sqldmo.dll - version 2000.80.194
sqldmo.rll - version 2000.80.194
sqlsvc.dll - version 2000.80.194
sqlsvc.rll - version 2000.80.194
sqlunirl.dll - version 2000.80.194
w95scm.dll - version 2000.80.194

According to the redist.txt file, this is all that's needed to install the sqldmo.dll on a client machine, but it is still not working. I get the error 'The following file failed to self-register: sqldmo.dll. The operating system cannot run.'

I'm trying to this without installing the MSDE for SQL 2000, the application i need the DMO for uses MDAC 2.5, not MDAC 2.6, so the MSDE is not really a good option for me.

Any Ideas?
