SQLMANGR.EXE Application Error

[siqbals]

After installing SQL server 2000 Developer Edition and service pack 3 on a Win2000 pro operating system, after every reboot a dialogue box appears with the following error message:

----------------------------------------------------
sqlmangr.exe - Application Error

The instruction at "0x780011cd" refrenced memory at "0x00aa00e0". The memory could not be read.
----------------------------------------------------

The SQL server icon does not appear on the task bask.

The same error message occurs when Service Manager it excecuted from within the start task menu.

Anyone with any Suggestions?, please help.

As a WILD guess, I would wonder if SQLServer was installed previously, and maybe the wrong instance is trying to start.

De-install SQLServer from Add/RemovePrograms, and after reboot check Add/RemovePrograms and see if its still there and deinstall again. When you install, make sure you are not asked to create a "named instance" - thats a sign there is already an instance installed.

This problem has been fixed by installing MDAC 2.8
