NOTE: Because of file dependencies, this update requires Microsoft Content Management Server 2001 Service Pack 1 if you are using CMS 2001.

WORKAROUND

Remove any SQL Server 7.0 service pack so that you use SQL Server 7.0 SP2. If you run the CMS DCA using SQL Server 7.0 SP2, you do not receive the error message that is described in the "Symptoms" section. As soon as you have run the CMS DCA, reinstall your SQL Server 7.0 service pack that is later than SP2.

NOTE: You must use this workaround every time you run the CMS DCA. Therefore, Microsoft strongly recommends that you use the fix instead of the workaround.
