Hello. I am having problems installing a program that uses ADO.

I Get an error that says "Provider Not found. It may not be installed correctly"

MDAC_TYP.exe is being bundled into my cab file becuase it always is when you are using and ADO control. Now.... I went to Tech Net and searched for a resolution to my problem, and the problem is this:

The OLEDB provider for Microsoft jet 3.5 consists of the following two files:

C:\windows\system\Msjt4jlt.dll
C:\program files\common files\system\ole db\Msjtor35.dll

Now... When I run the packaged install, the above data access files do not get extracted. ALSO, when i run the MDAC_TYP.exe file seperatly the files still do not get extracted! Also, I downloaded the latest service pack for MDAC and STILL the files do not get extracted.

Now... I am able to do a manual extraction of all the files contained in MDAC_TYP.exe as microsoft explains. When I do this, The files are clearly there!

Noww... If I take those two files, put them in the appropriate directory and then register them using regsvr32.exe my program works fine!

But... I do not want to do that! This can't be they way the setup with MDAC_TYPE.exe was intended. I've BUILT test programs using different machines running VB6 proffesional edition sp4 AND installed the machine on several test clients. and I get the same error unless I do what I eplained above.


FOR THE LOVE OF GOD! SOMEONE HEEEEELP!!!!
