Can't Add Reference to Microsoft.SQLServer.RMO.dll

Hi All,
I'm trying to add a reference to this DLL in Visual Studio 2003 so I
can programmatically trigger replication. When I try and add the
reference I get the following exception:
"A reference to 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\SDK
\Assemblies\Microsoft.SqlServer.Rmo.dll' could not be added. This is
not a valid assembly or COM component. Only assemblies with extension
'dll' and COM components can be referenced. Please make sure that the
file is accessible, and that it is a valid assembly or COM component."
As you can see it does have a .dll extension.
The file I try to reference indicates it was created on 14 October
2005, 03:43:34 and is version 9.0.1399.0
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\SDK\Assemblies
\Microsoft.SqlServer.Rmo.dll
Can I doenload another version of the DLL from somewhere?
Any help appreciated!
Thanks
Rajl

OK, this is resolved now. I think the issue is to do with the fact I'm
using VS2003. I tried adding the reference to a VS2005 project and
that works fine. I'm guessing that the dll is a .NET 2.0 dll and so
not compatible against VS2003?
|||If you want to programmatically start replication, you probably will also
need to add a reference to the "Replication Agent Library" assembly.
