sql server replication : SQL 2005 Merge Replication Control (SQLMERGX) -- Can't find REPLRES.RLL

I'm trying to put together a small install package of what is required to
use the SQLMERGX.DLL merge replication control in SQL 2005, but it can't see
the REPLRES.RLL file.

I've placed it in the correct location, (C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL
Server\90\COM\Resources\1033), but I still get an error that the file isn't
found. It doesn't find it if you put it in the "current" directory either.

Is there some registry entry I need to make to inform the control where the
resources are located?

Thanks!

I have never encountered this problem. What happens if you register
replres.rll?

replres.rll isn't self-registering -- it has no entry points. I've
registered all of the DLL's that can be registered.

The SQLMERGX control works fine on a machine on which I've actually run the
SQL Express 2005 installation, but I'm trying to just package up what is
needed to run the replication on a machine which may not have this full
installation done on it. So, Microsoft's installation package is logging the
location of the resource DLL somehow in the registry but I can't figure out
what is required.

The SQLRESLD90.DLL clearly exports an entry point for determining the path
to the resource file(SQLUILoadResourceDLLPath). The question is "where does
it get this from?"

You can register some rll's. Obviously not this one.

There are references in the registry to replres.dll at

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Database
Replication\Resources

I tried copying the REPLRES.RLL from this same folder from my "good" machine
to the same location on my testbed and still get the same error.

There's a piece missing somewhere. I guess I'll have to open an incident
with Microsoft.

Thanks.
