copperco2 24 Report post Posted August 5, 2007 I have a very technical question not related to rimweb but i sincerely hope that arun and the moderators will be be able to help me and also because i could not find a suitable criterion for it to post.. now here it goes.. "I have recently run an XP Pro set up, after the installation, i got the message while the machine booted.."SQL dumper library failed to initialization. your installation is either corrupt or has neen tampered with. Please uninstall then rerun set up to correct this problem." This message is repeated everytime my machine gets boot.. What does it mean and how can it be corrected? Any ideas?

Vishal Gupta 4 Report post Posted August 5, 2007 Topic Splitted... Pls post in appropriate sections. Regarding to ur problem, uninstall any instances of SQL server from "Add/remove programs" in Control Panel. It should solve it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BTW can you tell me how important is SQL server installation in XP PRO, If i uninstall all its components then will it affect my day to day computing?
