Mdac Hell

Shane:
I wouldn't know where all the reg keys are. Otherwise I would have that in my repair :-)

MDAC is multiple database accessing tools. ADO is just one part of it. You also have DAO, MS jet and others.

In my program I had users who had only one or the other working on there system. SO to help those users and make my program better I have it use both. Rarely do I get support request related to MDAC now :-)

You didn't answer, but do you have SP1 installed on Windows 7? if not installing it might fix it.

Otherwise one thing you could do is a repair install of Windows. :wink:

it's called dac (6.1)

& i cannot install mdac 2.8 sp1 on a windows7 machine running the setup ... .

MDAC 2.8 is already part of windows, thats why the setup wont let you install it :-)

delicate:
a repair install doesn't respect everything that's already installed & i have 10 months of fixes & customizations i don't wanna lose, it's too invasive for my part.

"if sp1 will fix it, then"

it's found in my updates window, but 9 fixes along with sp1 fail to install & i also tried your repair
tool for the windows install program unsuccessfully,

another way to install sp1 ? or fix the issue of not being able to install it before suicide ? ))

Shane:
If SP1 wont install then you have more problems. :wink:

Getting SP1 installed will help a lot.

Did you run my Windows repair tool, and if so did you run all the repairs?

Shane

delicate:
i can't repair everything, if i do that, i'll be adding more obsolete registry entries or waking up services that were disabled maybe. i believe many other fixes are obsolete for my issue like the network & co
