Mdac Hell

<< < (2/5) > >>

delicate:
Also, isn't ado supposed to work in windows 7 & replace mdac correctly?
it's supposed to be mdac replacement, and in that case, it'd be my
ado system that is buggy .. . & the real issue, instead of trying to
reprogram apps ?

Shane:
MDAC works fine on Window 7. I run a few programs of mine that use MDAC. I use it to work with MS access databases.

MDAC isn't going anywhere and I have no clue why someone would think MDAC doesn't work on Windows 7. As you seen for yourself it is already part of Windows :wink:

Sorry I didn't notice you already tried my repair tool. Thats what I get for reading post when I am not feeling well lol.

MDAC is messed up on your system though. At least the ADO part is. Problem is finding out why. We know you have the files on the system. So it isnt a missing file problem.

It must be either a reg key issues, something set wrong. Or something else that ADO depends on is messed up. But I don't know what ADO relies on in the system.


I think Sukhdev Singh is thinking MDAC isnt for windows 7 because if you go to MS to download MDAC it says it is for "Windows 2000, Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows NT" but it only states that because the latest is already on Windows 7.

Do you have service pack 1 installed for windows?

Thats right.

My thing about letting the programmer know my DAO to ADO trick was just to help avoid this is all (From one programmer to another). Nothing more :-)

delicate:
in other words, i guess his app is calling ado & not mdac or is supposed to work with ado when mdac's not present, as he pretends his customers have been running his app on win7 without issues .. .

& how could i fix my ado installation ?

do you think you could gather every ado's reg keys in one reg file from your win7
& send it to me or would that be complicated ? ))

it's called dac (6.1)

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