CAUSE

The Visual Database Tools DLLs or one of their dependencies are not registered correctly or are not in the correct folder.

RESOLUTION

Make sure the following DLLs are located in the proper folder and that each one is properly registered:

          mdtqd.dll
      mdtqodb.dll
  • \Winnt\System32: 

          msrdo20.dll

To register the files, use RegSvr32. For example, to register Mdtqd.dll, you would click the Start menu and type the following into the Run dialog box: 

   regsvr32 "c:\Program Files\DevStudio\MSDesigners\mdtqd.dll"

STATUS

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
