Re: Sql SP1: Failed to initialize the provider

Did you try your test program of co-creating SQL CE OLEDB CLSID and it fails
even now?

If it fails even with fresh intall, then can you let us know the contents of
the following registry hives (including subkeys and values):
1) HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server Compact Edition\v3.5
2) HKCU\CLSID\{F49C559D-E9E5-467C-8C18-3326AAE4EBCC}

Thanks,
Laxmi

1) Now we know that our OLEDB provider is ont registered
2) Can you hard reset (not soft reset) device and do a fresh install?
Please be aware of what you lose with hard reset
3) Check you have sqlceoldb35.dll installed under \Program
Files\Microsoft SQL Server Compact Edition\v3.5\
4) Try to register this DLL using CE version of regsvr32 OR try to create
those registry keys yourself. I know this sounds like stupid solution,
but I just dont have an idea why a CAB installation succeeds where as
"Register DLL" action as part of CAB Setup is ignored.
5) It may be that sqlceoldb35.dll failed to load when CAB called register
action on this COM DLL. Why a DLL can fail to load could be because the
image might not have OLE related DLLs.
Please see this blog article.:

Let me know your findings

Hi Laxmi,
ok, I've tried your way and performed a fresh install.

Then I wanted to manually register the sqlceoledb35.dll (using gbregsrv, a
regsvr32 clone for Windows CE found on the wed) but it gives me an error
(Error 193).

I checked DLL dependecies and on my Windows CE I have both ole32.dll and
oleauto32.dll. Furthermore I also have >16MB of free memory (it should be
enough, right?).

Do you have some other ideas?

Thanks,


.
