At least,

Ok, just to clarify. If I package this dll with my software, Microsoft will not roast me on a spit and serve me to Balmer with a side of steak fries and a pint of Guiness?

Hello,

 

I think there is no problem as the SMO dll are usually belonging to redistribuable packages which may be downloaded .

The only problem i can see is a problem of update ( you should install a version which is older than this which may exist on a computer )

Another thing : it seems that people have problems with VS 2008 SP1 which would forbid the use of Sql Server Management Studio Express Edition 2005 ( i'm trying to understand the problem, but i've found no answer for the moment )

 

Have a nice day

Hi Jason,

Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.RegisteredServers.dll is part of SharedManagementObjects.msi redistributable. You should be using this redistributable and just not bundle the dlls you want.
