Hi Andywest,

Thank you for posting!

Have you tried to run the Component Checker from the run line with the /d
switch? The component checker will ask where the redistributable download
is located. Browse to the location and the compentn checker will proceed
to uninstall mdac and install the version you specified. Also when you use
the /NR switch along with the /d switch it will not install what ever mdac
version you have downloaded but leave without mdac.

For additional information about Comonent Checker, visit the below KB
article

307255 INFO: Component Checker: Diagnose Problems and Reconfigure MDAC
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=307255

I hope that this can help you to remove MDAC completely.

Have a nice day!

Thanks & Regards,

| Hi
|
| I have tried to do a Rollback from MDAC 2.8 to 2.7 on a
| W2K Server.
| I found a KB article with a script called "unmigrt".
| This script deregistered all the files correctly and after
| that i was able to install MDAC 2.7.
| Component Checker 2.0 identifies MDAC 2.7 SP1 Refresh
| installed on the machine.
| Sounds good so far but the registry still says that MDAC
| 2.8 is installed and therefore our custom application
| doesn't work.
| What can I do to correct this? I don't know which registry
| keys need to be changed / deleted or how I could maybe do
| a real uninstall of MDAC so that the registry keys are
| also deleted.
|
| I'd appreciate any ideas.
|
| Thanx in advance
|
| Andywest
