MDAC 2.6 and .NET Framework 1.1

[Terry]

I am getting the following message back from ASP.NET. MDAC 2.8 is installed
as is .NET Framework 1.1 with SP and security updates on a Win 2K Server.
For some reason .NET is not recognizing that MDAC 2.8 is installed. The
application is pretty vanilla and is just executing SQL to a Microsoft SQL
Server 2000 database. The app runs fin on other Win 2K Servers and XP.

Anyone run into this and can help us out?
Terry
