Re: Problem with .Net Framework 2 on certain machines


after some investigation .. i found that a lot of people encounter problems
with MDAC 2.8 and XP


pre SP2 shopuld be solved by just reinstalling MDAC 2.8 ( found some
postings that stated that replacing the inf files is enough )

however computers with SP2 need a litle workaround to fix MDAC

OK, how to repair a copy of MDAC 2.8 on WinXP with SP2 installed

first, locate the mdac.inf file in c:\windows\inf right click and
install
when prompted for a location, point to
c:\windows\servicepackfiles\i386 then when promtpet for the XPcd,
either load the cd or point to c:\i386

this reinstalls / repairs MDAC 2.8
