    Exclamation Windows 7 Compile creates RT 430?

    I have a program compiled in windows 7 which keeps delivering the Runtime 430 automation error when executing it on XP and older OS's. This error is known to be related to the incorrect MDAC version. If I compile this same program, with the same options, on an XP box, this error does not occur.

    From what I understand Windows 7 uses WDAC while XP and older use MDAC.

    So how do we use ado.db connections for SQL in windows 7 while being able to compile the program so the exe will correctly function in windows XP?

    Thanks

    Re: Windows 7 Compile creates RT 430?

    ok although I found the article, the tlb files there will not register in windows 7, or I have become a moron whereas registering a file is concerned.

    Can someone give me a step by step to register these tlb that will actually work? I have tried about 5 different things I have looked up and all failed.
    I dont think that the ms supplied tlb would be bogus, any particular way to do it in windows 7?
