troubleshooting


My friend have a webapp cannot run. The problem is MS sql server service cannot start, and the error message is: "cannot found path specify".

The only hint I have is the database fail to start after scandisk. When I look into the installation path, it is show as: "d:\progra~1\micros~2\mssql", but it should be d:\progra~1\micros~1\mssql. Thus, scandisk in fact may re-generate the 8 characters path for windows file system which will may break some services or programs.

===

Sometime DLL cannot be loaded because there is strong name setting, we can disable it using "sn -Vr" - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/k5b5tt23(v=vs.80).aspx
