We have an install created with Wise that installs the .net framework and
MSDE 2000 silently. Everything seems to work fine on the install of these
two packages.
After we install MSDE and we make sure the service has started, we need to
attach a database. We do that by executing a batch file that looks like
this:
osql -E -S(local)\<myinstance> -Q "sp_attach_db @.dbname = N'X2', @.filename1
= N'C:\Program Files\<appname>\x2.mdf', @.filename2 = N'C:\Program
Files\<appname>\x2.ldf'"
After all of this executes and I try to run my application it says that the
login fails because the sa password is incorrect. We are executing the MSDE
install setup via command line like:
SETUP INSTANCENAME="<myinstance>" SECURITYMODE=sql SAPWD="password" /qn
In order to get the app to run, we have to go doubleclick on the batch file
(shown above).
Any ideas why the execution of this batch file might not be working the
first time?
Thanks.

I do no clearly understand your question... I prepared a .Bat file as
following,
osql -E -S(local) -Q"EXEC sp_attach_db @.dbname = N'a', @.filename1 =
N'C:\Programmi\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\Data\a.mdf', @.filename2 =
N'C:\Programmi\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\Data\a_log.LDF'" >c:\err.txt
and it works as expected...
you say

and this seems to me not related with the execution of sp_attach_db, but
perhaps my english is to poor to understand your meaning...

What I mean is that when that batch file is initially executed, by the Wise
utility, it does not appear to work, because when I run the app, it says if
fails for login 'sa'.
If I then go double-click on this batch file, and run the app, the app runs
fine.
Notice that the batch file does not set any passwords. It just attaches the
database, so I don't think the problem is with the login, its with the
attaching.
The question is, why would it not work if the Wise utility executes it?

thi is another problem, I think...
osql -E indicates to log in MSDE using osql with a trusted WinNT
connections... and this is a thing..

I actually do not know how Wise installs MSDE... perhaps the MSDE
installation is still pending and not finished... you've probably better
check this with Wise people...

Hi STom,
try to capture the output which is produced by the batch file
to see. Maybe osql is not yet in the path or something similar.
HTH,
