Re: Error using Db Engine Tuning Advisor

I am having the same exact problem. I de-installed everything and
re-installed to no avail. All other tools and services are working fine so
far. I have never been able to "connect to the database using DTA". If I
hit cancel at the login, there is no error. When I try to connect the same
error is thrown on my machine. What is interesting is I just did a very
clean install on my computer less than 30 days ago. The only install issue
was that I was not running IIS for reporting services as it is not needed for
me.

I am running XP Pro with all SP and updates and .Net/updates prior to SQL
2005 Developer Install.
Software would be Office 03 and misc business apps.

Hope the problem is solved soon.

Thank you,

kirk
