ERROR: while opening DTS package


ERROR: while opening DTS package Sandeep

sql server dts:
ERROR: The selected package cannot be opened. The DTS
designer has been closed.

I was able to open DTS packages before. But all of a
sudden I am not able to open any of them. The designer
closes with the above mentioned error. I am told that my
SQLDTS.dll is corrupt. How can I fix it? Please advise

TIA

Its actually dtspkg.dll which is corrupt. yes, it happens
any time (with or w/o DTS) when I try to open Designer. I
have already tried the suggested resolution in article
(http://www.sqldts.com/default.aspx?225).I am unable to
unregister the DLL as well. ERROR is as following.

DLLUnregisterServer in "C:\.......\dtspkg.dll" failed.

We are running SQL Server 2000. This is what I get when I
run select @@version

Microsoft SQL Server 2000 - 8.00.760 (Intel X86)

Service Pack 4)

Let me know if you need more information.
thanks

What says your dll is corrupt

SQLDTS.dll? Is that one of ours?
Do you mean dtspkg.dll?

You could try reregistering the dlls listed here

Redistributing DTS with your program
(http://www.sqldts.com/default.aspx?225)

Does this happen when opening designer itself with no package?

What version + SP level of DTS are you running?
Is the package on your local box or are you retrieving it from another
place?

If another place then what is the version + SP level there?

don't unregister simply register if you can.

I would stop SQL Server whilst I do this. If you think the dll itself is
corrupt then maybe you can grab a version from a server you know is good and
regoster that one.
