Sorry burt that did not work. It copied the dlls, but that was about it. I got one dll registration error. i think it was the SQLDISTXLib.dll
i think i go with your other approach.
thanks!

Then change "Copy Local" to true (do this with the other Microsoft.SqlServer.* DLLs). The DLLs get included in your bin\debug folder. So, you're actually going to distribute the DLLs with your app. That's probably ok to do, I'm guessing.
