Hi Feng Mao

Thanks for your answer.
Unfortunately the /d switch doesn't work with Component
Checker 2.0. An older Version is not available for
download.

I have read on another site that this switch doesn't work
on W2K at all because MDAC should not be uninstalled.

I'll try to find all places in the registry where MDAC is
mentioned and remove the keys and then install again.
Maybe it will work.

Bye

Andywest
