VB6 Installer Package Problem

[Edocsil]

Hey guys, I have created a basic Project using VB6. In my program I run data to and from a database, I can create an exe alright and run it perfectly. I have created an installer file for my program, and I run it, it does all the usual steps, then it comes to an error " An error occured while registering the file 'C:\Windows\System32\msadomd.dll"

If I hit ignore, the program installs successfully and it still works, or it seems to anyways. Can anyone please tell me what this error means, how to fix it, and if it is inhibiting my program at all? (If it makes ADO not work, that needs to be fixed immediately.)

Any help us much appreciated,

Go to Projects | References and see if msadomd.dll is in the list (look at the location for the actual dll name). If it is in the list uncheck it.
Go to Tools |Options, select the General tab and uncheck Compile on Demand.
Now see if your programme still complies. If it compiles then the dll is not needed, so make a new setup programme and hopefully it won't add that dll.

Hope this helps

Thread to "Application Deployment" forum, which is where questions about installing/distributing your software belong

As a general rule you should not have any ADO files in your installation package - if anything you should install the entire MDAC package (which includes ADO), but that is only for Windows 2000 (up to SP3) or earlier, as Windows XP onwards have it pre-installed.
