Hi,
Is it possible to install SNORT with MSDE or SQL Server 2005 Express
Edition?
I'm trying to install this on a standalone desktop PC, running Windows XP
Pro SP2 that has been stripped of any non-essential services. I have
installed MSDE 2000A from
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=413744d1-a0bc-479f-bafa-e4b278eb9147&DisplayLang=en
and then installed the latest version of snort, and WinPcap3.1. However when
I try and configure snort, I get an error message about ntwdblib.dll not
being found or registered. I have read an FAQ that says:
"This is the Microsoft SQL Server(tm) client DLL. This library is used by
client applications attempting to establish direct connections to an
installation of SQL Server, as opposed to connecting via ODBC or ADO. It is
provided by Microsoft as part of their SQL Server product, and is installed
as part of the SQL Server client package on the SQL Server CD-ROM.".
So I installed SQL Server 2005 Express Edition, in the hope that it would
install & register this file, but again, I'm receiving the same error.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
BenHi
ntwdblib.dll is for db-library which no longer supported, but your msde
install would have created it. Did you check the DLL exists and is it on your
PATH? It should be in the system32 directory.

Thanks for the reply.
Yes, I even did a search of my entire C: drive for 'ntwdblib.dll', and it
found nothing.

An installation of MSDE with "MDAC with additional client components" will
install DB-Library. You may want to enable logging for your installation by
using the /L*v option see

None of the SQL Server 2005 client tools have any dependency on
ntwdblib.dll and it is no longer shipped with SQL Server 2005.
Ntwdblib.dll is the DLL for the old DB-Library API. DB-Library is
deprecated with SQL Server 2005; SQL Server 2005 no longer includes the
DB-Library dll, and anyone wanting to run a DB-Library application against
SQL Server 2005 needs to get the dll from a previous version of SQL Server.
From the SQL Server 2005 Books Online:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143729(en-US,SQL.90).aspx
To run DB-Library or Embedded SQL applications you must have available the
DB-Library DLL from SQL Server version 6.5, SQL Server 7.0, or SQL Server
2000.
I think you have to copy the ntwdblib.dll from another computer which
contains and register it manually.

Thanks for the reply.
I think we have a spare SQL 2000 license from our MAPS subscription, if I
install it, and use this rather than the 2005 version, this should register
the ntwdblib.dll, and work? I don't think we need the latest version of SQL,
it's only for snort to log to, which is why I initially tried the MSDE, but
failing that, I assume it can do this using SQL 2000 as well.
Many thanks

That should be fine if you have the licences. MSDE should have been fine but
I don't have enough information to say why it did not install this library.
