Linked Server (Index service)

I have added my indexing service catalogs via exec
sp_addlinkedserver from Query Analyzer (all of this is
running on the same server). I am doing this because I
wish to write some asp.net pages to query the catalogs.
However, in Enterprise Manager, when I go to expand
Security->Linked Servers, I can see the catalogs I have
added, with the "tables" and "views" items underneath. If
I right click on either, I get "Error 7301: Could not
obtain a required interface from OLE DB provider MSIDXS"
What the heck?
Please have mercy on my poor soul. I have not used
newsgroups before, so I am not sure how to get a reply,
therefore I added my own email address above.
Thanks in advance,
PeteDoes the Everyone group have Full Control permissions on the
c:\winnt\system32\msidxs.dll (or whatever your actual path is)?
Are you on the latest version of msidxs.dll?

I'm getting the same error as you. I've been searching through the web for
a solution but I didn't find anything useful.
The dll does not exist on my server.
Did you find a solution in a meantime?
Thanks a lot
