[RESOLVED] Vista msado25.tlb error ????????

I am using ********** to install my app on a Vista machine and with the line:

Code:

---

Source: C:\Documents and Settings\new folder\msado25.tlb; DestDir: {sys}; Flags: uninsneveruninstall sharedfile regtypelib;

---

I get the following error on trying to open the App after the install and re-boot which goes OK.

c:\windows\system32\msado25.tlb
Unable to register the DLL/OCX:RegisterTypeLib failed;Code 0x8002801C

Any idea's what I am doing wrong ?

Just used a template script and now ********** does not include it so maybe I don't need it I will try and report back :confused:

Vista apparently uses a newer version of ADO - so you should not install 'old' versions on it.

You will need to install ADO for Windows 2000 or earlier tho (XP has 2.8 pre-installed).

Actually you should not be deploying that file at all. you may need to deploy MDAC 2.8 and MDAC 2.0 and the JET SP (or one of the Auto OS Updaters). Just place that file in your unsafe file list and it will removed from your future scripts automatically.

Many thanks to both of you gentlemen :thumb:
