I am working on a system where we wish toc reat a full text catalog in =
sql server 2000. I created a test catalog and started a 'full =
population' but it failed. After several attempts I restarted the =
'Mircosoft Search' service and it is failing with the following error:

"The Gatherer property mapping file cannot be opened. Error: 80070003. =
The default values are being used. You may have to copy the property =
mapping file from the setup CD, or reinstall the application".

I have little knowledge about MS seraching and the relationship with =
full text catalogs in sql server 2000. I have been able from google to =
find the following MS knowledge base article:

http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=3D827449

Is this the best solution for my problem?

The system I am working on is not a clustered database and has the sql =
installtion on the 'C:' drive with the log and data files fdor the =
database seperated oput onto to seperate physical drives

Cheers

I think this kb article is the best choice for you.
