I am getting an error:
MMC cannot open the file C:\program files\Miscorosft SQL
Server\80\Tools\BINN\SQL Server Enterprise Manager.MSC.
This may be because the file does not exist, is not an MMC console, or was
creted by a later version of MMC. This may also by because you do not have
sufficient access rights to the file.
I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling reapplying SP3a etc. with no luck.
I did find that renaming the file to anything else will allow it to work.
Which makes for an easy enough work around but was wondering if anybody knew
what is going on?
TIA
Hi
Have you tried running MMC and opening the file from there?
Check the file permissions.
If you have EM on another machine you may want to try copying the file.
Alternatively may want to extract the MSC file from the original CD.

I did pull the file from the CD which is how I discovered changing the name
fixes the problem. On the CD the file is called SQLEM.msc if I copy that
file to my computer it runs fine. However if I rename it to SQL Server
Enterprise Manger.msc it no longer runs.

Enterprise Manager Won't Start
All of a sudden, whenever I try to start the SQL Server
Enterprise Manager, I get the following error:
MMC cannot open the file C:\Program File\...\SQL Server
Enterprise Manager.MSC.
This may be because the file does not exist, is not an
MMC console, or was created by a later version of MMC.
This may also be because you do not have sufficient
access rights to the file.
I've uninstalled and re-installed SQL Server at least
four times now. I still get the same error. What is
going on? The file exists. I can see it. Please, I
need some insight on this. Help!
Glenn,
Try reapplying the latest SQL Server 2000 service pack. If that doesn't
work try copying SQLEM.MSC from the SQL Server CD (remember to rename it
to Enterprise Manager.msc on your machine).

1. Verified all of the file permissions.
2. Installed SP3a.
3. Copied the SQLEM.MSC file, renamed it.
I still get the same error.
Any other possibilities?

Well, it sounds like a permissions issue to me. What did you change? ;-)
Can you log on as local administrator and open EM?

|||I had the same problem. When I replaced SQLEM.msc from the CD I tried to
launch it before renaming it and it worked fine but after I renamed it it
would not open.
As long as I dont rename it to its original name it will launch fine? If
this is a permissions issue then it is easily worked around by just renaming
the file. Not a lot of security here on permissions if that is all it takes
to work around the permissons.
