SQL2005 Failed to Load

January 10, 2008 13:50 by Dean
I've just found an interesting problem with my SQL2005 Management Studio.  For whatever reason (I still don't know) somebody decided to reduce my domain permissions on my work login.

This had the effect of stopping me accessing quite a few of the applications on my 'start menu' because they were mapped to "my computer name + c$" e.g ""\\me\c$\Program Files\...etc". and I didn't have permission to access mine or any other pc from the network.

This problem stopped me from running most applications from the start - but SQL2005 had the strange problem that it would run almost totally then give me an error "Failed to Load".  After a bit of searching around the forums, most people were suggesting full re-install of both Visual Studio and SQL2005.  I simply didn't have a day spare to do all this so I thought I'd try one of the other solutions which was to change the application path to "c:\Program Files\... etc"

And it works. :0)
