ADO Client Installer..

[Guntruck]

I'm trying to create an installer for my client that utilizes ADO/SQL technology. ADO as I understand needs MDAC. And Windows2000 comes with MDAC, but 98 and ME do not. I am having troubles installing MDAC with our package. Is there an easier way so that I can just copy some .dll files or something or do I just plain need to run the installer? I know you can run a Silent install with the T switch but I was trying to eliminate it all together. Any great ideas??

Hi Dave,

Unfortunately, Microsoft requires that MDAC be distributed using its redistributable MDAC setup program.
