SMO : Full-text is not supported on this edition of SQL Server error

Question

I use sql server 2005 advanced service (i desinstalled sql server 2005 for the advanced edition in order to implement fulltext search).

It works perfectly when i create the FullTextCatalog and Fulltextindex. All the sripts i executed in sql server management studio work fine.

Now I have finished to developp the application. And i want to check if the selected database contains a specific catalog, but i got error message "SMO : Full-text is not supported on this edition of SQL Server" althougth the service exists for the server

This is my code source:

srv = new Server(_instancename)
 
if (srv.IsFullTextInstalled == true)//this line return true
{
 Database db = srv.Databases["jorce"];
 if (! db.FullTextCatalogs.Contains("JorceFTCat"))//this line throws exception: "Full-text is not supported on this edition of SQL Server."
 {
 FullTextCatalog ftc = new FullTextCatalog(db, "JorceFTCat");
 ftc.IsDefault = true;
 ftc.Create();
 }
}

I need help. I'm confused

Make sure you have the latest cumulative updates and service packs for SQL Server and Visual Studio. I googled the error message and apparently this is something that was fixed in a subsequent update.

Thank for your reply Penn Of course the sql server fulltextsearch is runnig and i already used these bellow scripts to create object in management studio drop fulltext index on dbo.Archives; drop fulltext catalog JorceFTCat create fulltext catalog JorceFTCat create fulltext index on dbo.Archives ( Num language 0x40c Matiere language 0x40c Sommaire language 0x40c Auteur language 0x40c Archive type column Ext language 0x40c ) key index PK_Archives_1 on JorceFTCat with change_tracking off no population; alter fulltext index on dbo.Archives set change_tracking auto and it works fine. But why not in c#. I wonder.

Make sure that the SQL Server full-text services are running.
