I intend to use InstallShield Express as the intallation program
Has anyone else included mdac?
I presume that I just include mdac_typ.exe and invoke it to install from the setup program.
Is it possible to run mdac_typ.exe without the dialog boxes etc?
Yes I have used Install Shield Scripts to install MDAC in my project.
You just have to include mdactype.exe in the Install shiels script (*.ipr) package and just invoke the exe.
When doing this we have no control over the installation of the MDAC as MDAC installation will take control from the time the exe is triggered by the Install scripts. So I beleive there is no way that we can control / customise the MDAC installation.
Hope this answers ur question !!
