Re: [Mssqlcompressed-users] Problem with SQL 2008 backup

[Clay L. <cl...@le...>]

This means that the VDI DLL is not installed, or not installed properly.
The DLL (for all versions of SQL Server) is located here:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\80\COM\vdi.dll

This location can vary if you have the 64-bit edition of SQL Server, but it
is in <sql server folder>\80\COM\vdi.dll

I'd check that the file exists, and if not, find a way to install it.  I
wouldn't be surprised if uninstalling an older version of SQL Server removed
it even though 2008 is installed.
