Installing SQL-DMO
This feature will be removed in the next version of Microsoft SQL Server. Avoid using this feature in new development work, and plan to modify applications that currently use this feature.
SQL Server Database Management Objects (SQL-DMO) has been removed from SQL Server 2008 R2 Express and the SQL Server 2008 R2 Feature Pack. SQL-DMO also does not support Database Engine features introduced after SQL Server 2000. We recommend that you modify applications that currently use this feature as soon as possible. If you must support SQL-DMO, install the Backward Compatibility Components from the SQL Server 2008 Feature Pack from the Microsoft Download Center. Do not use SQL-DMO in new development work; use SQL Server Management Objects (SMO) instead. You can obtain the SMO documentation by installing SQL Server 2008 R2 Books Online.
SQL-DMO is implemented in a single dynamic-link library (DLL). You may develop SQL-DMO applications on either a client or a server. When using an OLE Automation controller as a development platform, such as Microsoft Visual Basic, no additional files are required. Application development using C or C++ requires the SQL-DMO header files.
SQL-DMO sample applications, providing additional reference material for SQL-DMO application development, are included with SQL Server.
