Re: Error registering when installing MDAC

When trying to install mdac (we tried 2.6 and 2.8), the setup shows 3
errors :

1. Error registering the OCX C:\Program Files\Common
Files\System\ADO\msado15.dll

2. Error registering the OCX C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\OLE
DB\sqlxmlx.dll

3. Error registering the OCX C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\OLE
DB\sqloledb.dll

The computer has Windows ME (Millemium) on it.

Here is more detail about why we where trying to install mdac :

One of our customer is using our vb6 application and it was working fine
before he installed quickbooks (that's the only change he made to his
computer before our application stopped working. We don't know if
quickbook corrupted mdac for sure).

Then he received a runtime error 429 "ActiveX component can't create
object" when trying to connect to our sql server or when trying to connect
to an access 97 database (using ADODB.Connection, with Driver={Microsoft
Access Driver (*.mdb).

TEST WE TRIED :

We tried to run windows update to see if there was any updates linked to
mdac but there was none.

Installing mdac 2.6 or 2.8 gave the errors mentionned above.

We also tried to get a log file for the mdac installation but no log file
was generated.

Do you have any advice on what to do? Thank you.



Try installing in Safe Mode with no applications running, the errors could
be due to a program running that is using those OCXs.
