Error On Installation

[GrimmReaper]

Hello everyone!
I'm trying to install my application onto a seperate machine, but it gives me this error

What am I doing wrong ? How can I avoid this ?

I am not sure but what happens if you try Ignore?

I am not sure but what happens if you try Ignore?

Well, I've tried it once, I don't think it made a difference
At least I hope not

[Pino]

It may be that its allready there? Not sure, just a thought

[dee-u]

I had this experience a few days back that is similar to your problem and choosing Ignore was just fine and my app still worked...

[GrimmReaper]

Thanx guys!
One more thing:
Is there a way to avoid this from within the Setup1.vbp program ?

Moved to Application Deployment.

It is ONLY XP Machines that gives this error, can anyone help ?

[dee-u]

What version of ADO are you using? Does those XP Machines have MDAC installed already?

[GrimmReaper]

All machines are running Win XP
I've installed MDAC 2.8, so now I'll have to wait and see

[kleinma]

are you using the Package and Deployment wizard?

if so you need to remove that file (msado25.tlb) from the packing, and instead include and run MDAC with the installation.

msado25.tlb is picked up as a needed dependancy, when in reality you really need all of MDAC

Hello!
I have used the P & D Wizard.
What I've done was to run the MDAC 2.8 installation on its own, on the XP machines, but now it gives me this error!

[kleinma]

thats because you should really get away from using the PDW. I really suggest you use an application like INNO setup (which is free)

it may take a little learning at first, but its 100x better than PDW

It allows you to do things like only install MDAC on certain versions of windows, so you wont get that error message.

GrimmReaper,

You should not attempt to install MDAC 2.8 on XP. You can try the Automatic OS Updater in my signature to do the installations for you.
