Package and Deployment Problem (Missing Dependency Information)

[bontyboy]

I am trying to set a install program and while I am going through the wizard I get a message that tells me the following:

"Missing Dependency Information...the following list of files for which dependency information could not be found. To proceed without the dependency information for the
file(s), click OK. To permantly mark a file as having no dependencies, select its checkbox."

The file name is:
MSADO20.TLB C:\Program Files\Common Files\system\ado

I ignored it and created the setup and I got the following error msg when I installed it on another machine.

Error msg "ADO could not find the specified provider. ADOB.Connection"

In my project I am referencing Microsoft Active X Data Objects 2.1 Library.

THe file that you are missing dependency information for is a type library so there is no dependency information for it anyway.

Your problem is this:

Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects (ADO) cannot be installed on it's own it must be installed as part of MDAC (Microsoft Data Access Components) as far as I know.

Unfortunately the install file for MDAC is 7.5MB.

If you do find a solution to properly install ADO without installing the full MDAC install I would be very pleased to hear about it.
