I successfully installed SQL Backup v5 on Windows 2003 Server Standard Edition, but am unable to launch SQL Backup v5. Each time I try, I get the following error:

CLR error: 80004005.
The program will now terminate.

I've tried logging off and on without any success. Has anyone seen this before?

    Hi Laurence,

    This looks suspiciously like a COM error. Most .NET methods eventually call COM objects to do the work. It would be nice to know which one! Is there anything in the Application Event Log (eventvwr.exe)?

    I suppose the first thing you could try would be to uninstall/reinstall SQL Backup console. This may shake any pre-compiled code that .NET has cached to speed up the program's loading process. This pre-compiled code might have become invalid. Another reason is that any necessary COM objects could have unregistered for some reason.

    Brian,

    I tried uninstalling and reinstalling SQL Backup to no avail. I still get the same error message. This is on a server that I have to give good reason for rebooting. Do you have any other suggestions outside of restarting the server? Thanks.

    P.S. - There aren't any errors in the event view, either for Application or System.

    I wouldn't think that restarting the server would help -- it's a windows issue rather than a SQL issue.

    Maybe you can try this trick:
    c:\windows\microsoft.net\framework\v2.0.50727\ngen c:\program files\red gate\sql backup\RedGate.SQLBackup.UI.exe

    Brian,

    There isn't a framework folder within the .Net folder. Could that be my problem? I checked the add/remove programs and .Net 2.0 is listed as installed. Do I need to reinstall .Net 2.0? Or would going to Windows Update solve that problem for me? I'm still on Service Pack 1 for Windows 2003 Server. Should I move to Service Pack 2?

    I'd recommend getting the .NET Framework redistributable from Microsoft and reinstalling the 2.0 Framework:

    Brian,

    Reinstalling the .NET 2.0 Framework worked. Thanks!
