Determining version of MDAC

How can I determine which version of MDAC is installed on the machine. I
have a program which works on one machine, but not another and I would like
to confirm whether or not the two machines have the same version of MDAC
installed.

TIA,

You can find that information in the registry. Just read the default value
of the below registry key.

HKEY_CLASSES_RO OT\CLSID\{54AF9 350-1923-11D3-9CA4-00C04F72C514}\I nstalledVers
ion

The default value on my machine is "2,70,7713, 0" which means I have MDAC
version 2.70 installed.

HOW TO: Check for MDAC Version
http://support.microsoft.com/default...;en-us;Q301202

You could also check the version of <common files>\system\o le db\msdadc.dll
by extracting the version number from it. Theres an unsafe example here:

Hello - Glad this newsgroup is here. I'd like to compare notes and see if someone else has experienced this problem and if there is a workaround for it (besides new OS and VS.NET version). Background: Installed version 2002 of Visual Studio .NET Academic on NT4 SP6A system about a year and a half ago, worked perfectly at that time. Used it quite a bit up until about July. About a month ago had a potentially disasterous uninstall of...

Thought it might be a cool feature to allow my users to click a button, and connect to a webpage that would tell them if a more recent version was available. I can create a button that opens a webpage but it would be nice if it could compare what they have with what I say is available, so I can say something like "You have version 1.2. Version 1.3 is now available". Any ideas?

Let me rephrase a question for which I received no answer. I thought dotnet requires MDAC 2.6 or later for data access. I have a dotnet Windows app that uses Access. It won't run on Windows 98 unless I install MDAC 2.5. Does this mean I need to install both MDAC 2.5 and 2.6? Thanks, Jan

Not sure exactly what my question is or what forum to ask on. I know how to get version info from a particular file. e.g. FileVersionInfo.GetVersionInfo(filePath) What I'd like to do is get version info for Microsoft "components" such as MDAC, DAO, MFC Runtime, etc. An "overall" level rather than specific file version. For example .NET - 1.0 or 2.0, MDAC 2.5 or 2.7, etc. Any way? Or better forum?

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
