While attempting to start a newly developed application on a User Machine, I got the message -

Provider Cannot Be Found. It may not be properly installed. 3706.

The connection string I use in my application is:

ConnectionString = _
"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.3.51;" & _
"Data Source=" & App.Path & "\bidsystem.mdb"

I am guessing that the Microsoft Jet OLEDB provider was not installed when Windows 98 was set up on this machine as it was a Vanilla installation from a local computer supplier.

I have successfully installed this application on one of my other machines with no problems but I am certain that I installed Microsoft Jet OLEDB when I installed Windows on this machine.

Two Questions:

1. Do you think I am right in my analysis of this problem?

2. If I am right, how can I install the Jet OLEDB provider
from the CAB files currently installed on this machine
if possible?

I would greatly appreciate any help anyone could care to give me with this problem.

Thank you very much.
