You're in the
sql server connect
group:Solution for OLAP error: "Unable to open conection. Provider cannot be found. It may not be properly installed."
sql server connect:
I have seen tons of posts but no real solution for the "Unable to open connection. Provider cannot be found. It may not be properly installed." error message when trying to connect to OLAP. Even after running SP3 it doesn't work. Well, you need to go to the sql2ksp3/msolap/install/ folder and run the setup.exe. Reboot your computer and you should be able to connect. It seems that if you just run the sp3 package it just installs the setup to your machine, which you then need to run. Good luck!
Sooo, you are saying that actually running the service
pack fixies it instead of just extracting the files from the SP3 file? Ray Higdon MCSE, MCDBA, CCNA [quoted text, click to view] >-----Original Message-----

Ray,
Do a search on this error (and similar errors) and you will see that are a fair amount of people think that they are running the service pack but all they are doing is extracting the service pack. I was just trying to help some of those people. I'm sorry that not everybody is as smart as you with all of your certifications! Not!

Wow, that's not what I was trying to convey. I apologize if I gave the
high and mighty impression, I certainly don't feel that way nor meant to convey it. Glad you got the problem fixed, and it was good form of you to post a fix to a wide-spread problem. Ray Higdon MCSE, MCDBA, CCNA *** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***
Phin,
Thank you for your post! You really helped me out on this one. It seemed to install the service pack but it was just extracting it. It would be nice if it just installed. It seems that this is a common problem. Don't listen to people like Ray. We have self righteous people here at work like Ray who like to put people down to make themselves feel better. Low self esteem with with an jerky attitude is a toxic mix! : ) BR [quoted text, click to view] mrwoopey@yahoo.com (mrwoopey) wrote in message news:<e48ab325.0307310637.2f4c38a2@posting.google.com>...

Ray,
I apologize that I assumed you were asking a sarcastic question. I just took it that way because I deal with sarcastic IT people all day, ala Saturday Night Live's Nick Burns "Your Companies Computer Guy": transcript: http://www.angelfire.com/pa2/jimmyfallon/nickburns.html video: http://www.davidkrider.com/downloads/Nick%20Burns%2C%20Your%20Company%27s%20Computer%20Guy%202.ram http://www.davidkrider.com/downloads/Nick%20Burns%2C%20Your%20Company%27s%20Computer%20Guy%201.ram Again, I'm sorry for responding the way I did.

could have worded that better and I apologize if I gave some high and mighty impression, I certainly don't feel that way nor meant to convey it.
