Re: ODBC problem w/ game installation

My apologies, I should have given you the link to the 2.8 SP1 download, but even that won't install on XP SP2.

Was SP2 pre-installed on your system, or did you install it after purchase?

If SP2 was pre-installed (came with your computer), the open a Windows Explorer window and go to C:\Windows\System32\dllcache (this is a hidden/system folder). Locate the two files in question and right click each one. Select Properties and go to the Version tab. The version should be 3.525.1117.0, for both files. If correct, copy these two files from the dllcache folder to the Windows\System32 folder.

If you installed SP2 yourself, follow the instructions above, but the files will be located in the C:\Windows\ServicePackFiles folder.
