Author MSSQSL2000 diagrams empty after installing VS6 SP6
Marcus Förster

Situation: VS6 SP5 Ent. Ed. and MSSQL Server 2000 Dev. Ed. SP3a running on
Windows XP Prof. SP1.

After installing VS6 SP6, all diagrams in Enterprise Manager appear to be
empty, in all Databases on all SQL Servers in the LAN. This happened on 2
clients so far. Clients without SP6 (otherwise practically the same setup)
can access the same diagrams normally, so I think there's nothing wrong
with the diagrams themselves.

Removing and reinstalling MSSQL Server (with SP3a) had no effect.

I wasn't able to find anything about this problem. Did anyone here
experience something similar?

I was able to "fix" the diagram problem by copying the whole "Program
Files\common files\Microsoft Shared\MSDesigners98" folder from a pre-SP6
machine. No detrimental side effects so far.

Hi Marcus

I had the same problem with the blank Sql Server diagram designer window.

I found that the culprit is mdt2df.dll (version 2.0.0.9586) in c:\Program
Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\MSDesigners98
After installing VS6 SP6 you can replace it with the old version
(2.0.0.8958)
Then the sql server diagram designer will show again.
