Thanks for your kind help, but I have the SDK and I did create an adodb.dll
from msado15.dll as you and MSDN mention on http://tinyurl.com/367x7, but
ComponentOne's database connection dialogs complained about the version of
the assembly ("Comparing the assembly name resulted in the mismatch: Major
Version"), and if I try to add it in the GAC, I get an error message
complaining that the adodb.dll is not strongly named.

On the MSDN page above, Microsoft says:
<<
Note Visual Studio.NET provides a Primary Interop Assembly (PIA) for ADO
in the "Program Files\Microsoft.NET\Primary Interop Assemblies" directory in
the file adodb.dll. If you have a copy of Visual Studio.NET installed, it is
recommended that you use this file (adodb.dll) as opposed to importing your
own using the Type Library Importer (tlbimp.exe). For more information on
Primary Interop Assemblies, see Primary Interop Assemblies.
>>

So it seems to me that ComponentOne are relying on librairies that are not
installed on a typicial Borland setup (at least for the .Net flavour), yet
they explicitely target their products to Borland customers.

Something needs fixing I think,

Renaud.

adodb.dll is primary interop assembly. It is probably installed with .Net
SDK. If not, you could recreate it with:
TlbImp.exe msado15.dll

TlbImp.exe is from .Net SDK, not from Borland. msado15.dll is located in:
c:\Program Files\Common Files\System\ado\msado15.dll

Place adodb.dll into GAC.
