    Uninstall Microsoft Data Access Component

    I'm building a setup project which will detect the version of Microsoft Data Access Component (MDAC) on the target computer.

    I only have 1 PC to test the output of this setup project, which is "myInstaller.msi".

    Everytime doing testing, i need to uninstall MDAC n install other version of MDAC, to check whether my "myInstaller.msi" can detect the different version.

    For instance, i had make my "myInstaller.msi" to detect MDAC version 2.6 or later.

    So i installed MDAC 2.6, n see if "myInstaller.msi" will continue the installation or not.

    Then i have to uninstall 2.6 n install MDAC 2.5, n see if "myInstaller.msi" will alert me and aborted the installation or not.

    But i found that, there r no uninstaller for MDAC. n i found that the version of MDAC in the registry will not be overwritten, eventhough i install MDAC over another version of MDAC.

    Is there any alternative way for me to test my output of Setup project?

    Please guide, thank you.

    hi
    you can try something call vmware where you can install a virtual machine in your local machine and do whatever you want to it whithout corrupting your local os
    To follow the path:
    look to the master,
    follow the master,
    walk with the master,
    see through the master,
    become the master.-ZEN
