FIX: MSMQ Site Controller Installation Fails with SQL Server 2000 (305364)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Message Queue Server (MSMQ) 1.0
This article was previously published under Q305364

SYMPTOMS

When you install a Microsoft Message Queue Server (MSMQ) Primary Enterprise Controller (PEC), Primary Site Controller (PSC), or Backup Site Controller (BSC) where the Message Queue Information Store (MQIS) database will use Microsoft SQL Server 2000, the following error message may occur:
Microsoft Message Queue Setup Error
Unable to create a process to run the command:
(SQL Server install path)\BINN\ISQL.EXE -E -d master -Q "DISK RESIZE name = 'master', size = 25600"

MQIS
Error code = 0x2

CAUSE

The MSMQ site controller setup creates a process that loads the Isql.exe SQL Server utility to create the MQIS database. For PSC and BSC installations, this process also copies the MQIS from the owning site controller. The setup process checks the exit code of the ISQL process for success.

SQL Server 2000 replaces Isql.exe with a new utility, Osql.exe, which does not return values in the same way as Isql.exe.

In this fix, the MSMQ 1.0 setup was changed to use Osql.exe instead of Isql.exe. In addition, SQL stored procedures that were installed with the MSMQ 1.0 setup were changed to return values in the way that Osql.exe requires; for example, SELECT(val) instead of RETURN(val).

To implement this fix after you install SQL Server 2000, follow these steps:
  1. Create or determine the folder in which you would like to install MSMQ; for example, C:\Program Files\MSMQ.
  2. Create a Setup folder under the MSMQ folder; for example, C:\Program Files\MSMQ\Setup.
  3. Copy the Mqsetup.dll and CrdbSP7.sql files from the fix to the Setup folder.
  4. Install MSMQ from the Microsoft Windows NT Option Pack. Make sure that you select the MSMQ folder (for example, C:\Program Files\MSMQ) from the first item when you are prompted for the MSMQ location.
  5. Apply Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 6 or Service Pack 6a.
  6. Apply the fix. The fix contains the mandatory post-SP6/SP6a fix which is described in the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

    251294 "Message Queue Service Not Available" Error Can Occur After Applying Windows NT 4.0 SP6

    Note that this fix is needed for MQIS Server (PEC, PSC, or BSC). Independent Clients (IC) and Routing Servers (RS) are not affected.
