Hi,

I'm having this error in a VB.NET-application at the moment that I attempt
to read data from an SQL Server:

The .Net Data SQL Provider (System.Data.SqlClient) requires Microsoft Data
Access Components(MDAC) version 2.6 or later. at
System.Data.SqlClient.ConnectionPool.GetConnection(Boolean& isInTransaction)
   at
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnectionPoolManager.GetPooledConnection(SqlConnec
tionString options, Boolean& isInTransaction)
   at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection.Open()
Failed to Load Call Data Call Data Failure

However the MDAC 2.7 is installed! And when I look into the registry it is
indicated as installed too:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\DataAccess\FullInstallVer =
"2.71.9040.2"

The .NET Framework is installed (1.1), and it is on a Windows NT (Sp 6a) pc.

Does anybody know about thisp roblem? And some solution? Could it be because
of some restictions (although I do have full Admin rights on the pc).

I'ts really urgent and bothering me (I have to do a demo in 20 minutes,
hehe).

Thanks a lot in advance, any help, hints etc will be really appreciated!

Pieter
