MDAC and XP Family

[crisedefoie]

Good morning everyone,

I installed a vb6 application using SQL Server databases and ADO.

When I want to start the application, an error message pops up : The ~ method of the ~ object failed.

We found that it's when it wants first open the database.

I tried to installed MDAC 2.8 but it told that all MDAC files are already installed. (the computer is an XP Family). The problem is not from my Installation kit because I installed 3 others computers (XP too) and all work well.

So I don't want to tell to my customer : 'Just format your hard drive!!!' I think it should have a trick but I'm too blind to see it.

Does anyone met this problem before or know how to solve it?

Thanks a lot!

Try uninstalling the current installation of MDAC and reinstalling.

Also, make sure that XP is fully patched.

Yes I forgot to tell that the computer is full patched (I verified).

I tried to uninstall the curent installation of Mdac but it even doesn't appear on the list of available programs.

Very strange! :-(

ps. I apologize for my english, I need more practice but I try to do my best.
