Re: ODBC problem w/ game installation


Doug,

Thank you for your help. The component checker says everything is ok, and
MDAC v2.81 won't install. I will contact the game manufacturer and keep you
posted on any news.

Thanks again,

Clem.

PRB: "ODBC Resource DLL Is a Different Version Than ..." Error

Unfortunately, it says the fix is to reinstall MDAC 2.8 SP1 (what's included
with SP2) but that won't install since its already there.
