Hi,
I am building a database install aplication that among all other
stuff, creates and populates full-text catalogs for my database.
All this is done in VB.net and SQL Server 2003
My application works fine, here is the come sample:
oSQLServer = CreateObject("SQLDMO.SQLServer")
oSQLServer.connect(strServer, strUserID, strPassword)
' enable full-text indexing for provided database
oSQLServer.Databases(strDBName).EnableFullTextCata logs()
' create full text catalog and add it to the collection
Dim strFullTextCatalogName As String
strFullTextCatalogName = strCatalogPrefix & "_documenttitle"
oFullTextCatalog = CreateObject("SQLDMO.FullTextCatalog")
oFullTextCatalog.Name = strFullTextCatalogName 'name
oFullTextCatalog.RootPath = strCatalogPath 'location
' create full-text catalog on the server and add it to
' the collection of full-text catalogs
oSQLServer.databases(strDBName).fulltextcatalogs.a dd(oFullTextCatalog)
However, I get an System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException
exception with additional information as:
Additional information:[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL
Server]Access is denied to 'C:\Documents and
Settings\username\MyDocuments', or the path is invalid. Full-text
search was not installed properly.
The path to which access is denied is the value of my variable
strCatalogPath that I assign to my full-text catalog RootPath
property. (see code sample above)
How can I fix this error. Please help.
Any help will be appreciated,

Dino,
Well, the error message is clear "Access is denied to 'C:\Documents and
Settings\username\MyDocuments', or the path is invalid."
Did you try using sp_fulltext_catalog and create a FT Catalog using the same
path? or perhaps specifically reference 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL
Server\Mssql\Ftdata' enclosed in double quotes? Do the folders "username"
or "MyDocuments" exist?
SQL Server BOL title "sp_fulltext_catalog" for the path states
"[@.path =] 'root_directory'
Is the root directory (not the complete physical path) for a create action.
root_directory is nvarchar(100) and has a default value of NULL, which
indicates the use of the default location specified at setup. This is the
Ftdata subdirectory in the Mssql directory; for example, C:\Program
Files\Microsoft SQL Server\Mssql\Ftdata. The specified root directory must
reside on a drive on the same computer, consist of more than just the drive
letter, and cannot be a relative path. Network drives, removable drives,
floppy disks, and UNC paths are not supported. Full-text catalogs must be
created on a local hard drive associated with an instance of Microsoft SQL
ServerT.
@.path is valid only when action is create. For actions other than create
(stop, rebuild, and so on), @.path must be NULL or omitted."
Hope that helps!

|||Are you utilizing MSDE or SQL Server Express? Full-Text is not installed or
supported on either.
