Re: ADO and MDAC issues on XP systems




I have a program that uses TADOConnection, TADOQuery and TDataSource.
Upon startup with 2 of my customers both of which run Windows XP SP2,
the program encounters an error that will shut the program down this
error is "Error Creating Object, Please verify that the Microsoft Data
Access Components 2.1 (Or Later) have been properly installed" I know
that the SP2 will install MDAC 2.8 and JET 4 which my application relies
on. I had my customer run the Component Checker which verified that MDAC
2.8 was installed. Any Ideas on what can be done? I found an Article on
Microsofts site regarding MDAC issues

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;870630#XSLTH3207

since the SP2 is already installed you cannot install MDAC and the JET
Drivers again but you can run the RUNTIFIX.exe I am not to sure if this
will touch my problem.
There seem to be a lot of corrupt Mdac 2.8 installations. Sounds like you have
a couple.
