I have the following code in an application

<<Set dbs = OpenDatabase(strsel, False, True, &quot;Excel 5.0;HDR=NO;&quot;)>>

The code has worked previously, but the IT dept have upgraded and re-installed MSOffice, and now the application reports the error &quot;..Can't find installable ISAM&quot;.
The help message reads
&quot;...The locations for all ISAM drivers are maintained in the Windows Registry. These entries are created automatically when you install your application. If you change the location of these drivers, you need to correct your application Setup program to reflect this change and make the correct entries in the Registry&quot;
Question Which 'Setup' program is the instruction referring to and what can I do to correct it?
