I'm trying to install my system onto my bosses computer and it will not install.
I'm using Access 97 and ADO to connect to it, so in the installation I have included mdac_typ.exe.
This has installed great over the last month on another machine, but now won't install now when it matters.
I keep getting the following error pop up just after the mdac has installed. :
Unable to load file "C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\OLE DB\msdadc.dll" to register it.
After this my program seems to install ok, but when it is run, whenever it tries to access the database I get the following error :
429 Active X component can't create object.
Please, please, please somebody save my job!! :(
-
Sounds to me like you've corrupted the file somehow, try recompiling and then installing, you never know.
-
Cheers but I've just tried (yet again) and it has no effect.
Getting desperate :(
-
I've just tried to install mdac_typ.exe on it's own, and that won't install as the machine does not have DCOM95.
Anybody know what this is, and where I can get it??
-
I think you have to register your dll (msdadc.dll)
It seams thet in the diferent computer it was register
To register Go to Start -> Run -> in the window type
regsrv32 msdadc.dll
-
to get DCOM95 go to http://search.microsoft.com/us/dev/
and search for DCOM95 hope you will get some help
-
Thanks for the help, DCOM95 saved my job! Hooray!! :)
One question though, will I have to include both DCOM95 and DCOM98 in my setup so that it will work on both 95 and 98?
Will this cause any errors in say windows 95 if DCOM98 is installed or vice versa?
-
I think if you will use dcom98 it will support windows 95 as well but I am not certain.
try Support.microsoft.com
-
I've just been looking around microsoft and the latest versions of DCOM95/98 is 1.3.
Against DCOM98 it stated that it was for use with windows 98 only.
Does this mean I will need to make two different installations, one with DCOM95 and another with DCOM98.
What about NT/2000?

How do I go about adding DCom95 to my installation script?
-
I use the package wizard that comes with VB6, and all I have done is add it to the list of files when you get the option to add files.
