SQL Server 7.0 Online Books Are Not Installed After Upgrade

• Microsoft BackOffice Small Business Server versions 4.0, 4.0a, 4.5
• Microsoft BackOffice Server version 4.5

SYMPTOMS

If you apply SQL Server 6.5 Service Pack 5 to a computer running Small Business Server (SBS) or BackOffice Server and you upgrade the computer to SQL Server 7.0 (through an upgrade to SBS 4.5 or BackOffice Server 4.5), the SQL Server 7.0 online books are not installed.

CAUSE

This behavior occurs because SBS 4.0 and BackOffice Server 4.0 both ship with SQL Server 6.5, which does not have online books available.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem in SBS 4.5 or BackOffice Server 4.5, manually install the online books for SQL Server 7.0:

1. Insert CD-ROM 2 into the CD-ROM drive.



2. Open the SQL70 folder, and then run Setup.bat



3. When you are prompted to choose an installation type, click Local Install, and then click Next.



4. Continue the Setup wizard until the Setup Type dialog box is displayed. Click Custom, and then click Next.



5. In the dialog box that follows, click to select the Books Online check box.



6. Finish the installation.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft BackOffice Server 4.5 and Microsoft BackOffice Small Business Server 4.5.
