Possible issues with MDAC

Hi Shane,
Yes on a domain, but my admin account is with elevated priviledges. The files within the two ADO folders appear to be the exact same as I compared there sizes as well and there are no files missing. So I am wondering if this could be something different?

Shane:
Could be something missing for the files from the registry.

On the other machine that you compared the broken on to, did you run the mdac test on it to make sure it works as well?

Shane

blbumpus:
Yes it works on the other machine.

Hi Shane,
I seen you had an update version of the Windows repair tool, so I downloaded it as it also had improvements with Reset file permission....this allowed me to copy the ADO folder from one PC to another successfully...thanks for that update....nonetheless I still receive the same error with the test_MDAC tool, which is:
Starting Test.

Yeah the new file permissions repair now runs the repair as the trusted installer, which has access to everything. Where as the old version ran the repair as the system account, and since it doesnt take the owner of the files it couldnt change the permissions on any trusted installer own files. It can now :-D

I have a feeling the problem is in the registry and not the files. The MDAC repair simply registers all the dll files for mdac, which as long as there is permissions it should work.

Now that you have file permissions also run the registry permissions, the register system files and the repair mdac. If that still doesnt do it then we will have to look deeper in the registry to find what keys are missing.
