Could not find stored procedure 'dbo.sp_MS_replication_installed'.

Dear all,
I want to add a new server as a publisher to an existing distributor,
but each time I try, I get this error:
Could not find stored procedure 'dbo.sp_MS_replication_installed'.
I also tried making this machine it's own distributor, but the same
error comes up.
Thanks in advance.
AramidAramid,
Does the proc exist?
Try:
USE MASTER
GO
IF OBJECT_ID('SP_MS_REPLICATION_INSTALLED')
IS NULL
PRINT 'PROC NOT INSTALLED'
ELSE
PRINT 'PROC INSTALLED'
Also, you may want to post this to:
