It may caused by the VDT did not installed properly. You can try follows
(1) Open a Command window
(2)go to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET\Common7\Tools\VDT
There should be a file vdt70p.dll
run: regsvr32.EXE vdt70p.dll
(3) go to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET\Common7\IDE
Run: Devenv.EXE /resetskippkgs
If you have Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003
(2') the path of vdt70p.dll is C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio
NET 2003\Common7\Tools\VDT
(3') the path of devenv.exe is C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio
NET 2003\Common7\IDE
Good Luck.

Hi Lishi,
My name is Clinton and I noticed a recent post in the newsgroups that reflects:
====================================
If you have Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003
(2') the path of vdt70p.dll is C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio
.NET 2003\Common7\Tools\VDT
(3') the path of devenv.exe is C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio
.NET 2003\Common7\IDE
Good Luck.

===================================================
Anyway, the issue is similar to the one you answered above but slightly different and wanted your input. Here is the problem:
1. Open VS .Net 2003
2. Open Server Explorer
3. Right-click on Data Connections, Add connection. (User doesn’t get a data link dialog box – if SQL Client is loaded)
4. Under Select or enter a server name. The user gets a empty list of servers ( If SQL Client is not loaded).
5. Note: This is under the French version of .Net – but I don’t believe it is specific to the French Version.
Do you know if this is a known issue?
Thanks in advance,
Clinton
