On a PC with SQL Server 2000 and 2005 installed the default path for SQLCmd Location (Under Tools/Options/Other/SQL Server) is

C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\Binn\sqlcmd.exe

which does not exist. The correct path for sqlcmd is

C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\Binn\sqlcmd.exe

It would be good if the Automise and Automise runner setup programs could autodect the version of SQL Server and put in the correct default path.

The paths for ISQL Location and OSQL Location are correct

Thanks Paul - looks like the auto detection code is not quite right, will investigate.
