Hi,

This error message does not mean that there is something wrong with MDAC. It
means that some DLL file, which is referenced from the application, is
missing. It could be some control. I know that it is hard to find it and the
only way is to check for all the DLL files, which application references.
Another way is to put some sort of logging inside of application to see
where it fails.
Reinstalling older version of MDAC could lead to the MDAC corruption and is
not a good idea at all. You OR ships with MDAC installed properly already
and there is no reason to reinstall it.
