Init SQL Server Reconciler has failed

[Guest]

I am moving an app that uses merge replication from the development
environment to production. During synchronization I am getting the error
"Initializing SQL Server Reconciler has failed." I tried re-registering the
replication provider dlls (sscerp20.dll, and sscesa20.dll) as per
instructions from artical KB814853 to no avail. I know that my client can
hit the url of replication dlls because it can hit the url of the
CETesting.htm page that resides in the same directory.

Any ideas what else might be the problem?

Please post your SQL CE/SQL Mobile questions at
microsoft.public.sqlserver.ce

First, do you have a valid snapshot generated

Second, does the account under which the SQL Agent is
running have permissions on both the publication AND
the database containing the articles to be published

Third, does your production environment differ from
your dev environment in terms of where the distributor
and publisher are located? Default access to the snapshot
share uses UNC. If distributor and publisher are on
different servers or domains, this won't work - you'll
need to use FTP to transfer snapshots to the distributor.

Hi Bill,

Cuestions to help you:
Is your virutal directory (where the sscesa20.dll is placed) under Inetpub?
Have you another virtual directory or your IIS under Inetpub?
Is your Sql Server running on the same machine than IIS?
Greetings
