It might be interesting to look for that GUID in your /own/ registry
- out of curiousity I've just done it

DAO.DBEngine.35

I reckon that if you looked in your Project's .VBP file, you would

Given that hundreds of people are using your App, do you really have
to rely on Third Party utilities to handle filing ?
- and if you do, it might be an idea to install them, or do a check to
see if they are there
