My situation and problems:
I created an Installer for my VB.NET project. This program interacts with a database in Microsoft Access format. I built this program on Windows XP Professional Edition with Microsoft Visual Studio .NET.
At first, I installed Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1. When I install this program using the Installer on a Windows XP Home Edition PC, it works fine but cannot interacts with the database. Please refer to the attachment for the error message that pops up.
This PC does not has Microsoft Access. So I installed Microsoft Data Access Components 2.7 SP1. I tought it will works fine but it still cannot interacts with the database.
So I installed Microsoft Access XP. This also did not solved the problem.
For your information, this PC is a new one, with only the following softwares installed:
Windows XP Home Edition
Windows .NET Framework 1.1
Windows Data Access Componenets 2.7 SP1
Microsoft Access XP
Question 1:
How can I solve this problem? Is there any software that I need to installed for my program to interact with the Access database?
Question 2:
What is the purpose of Microsoft Data Access Components? Is it used to interact with Access database file without installing Microsoft Access?
Question 3:
If my program will to interact with Microsoft Access database file, does the PC that runs this program must have Microsoft Access installed? Is there any alternative?
I'm looking forward for answers of my questions. Please guide me. Thank you!
