Determining version of MDAC

Richard L Rosenheim

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,

Richard Rosenheim

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:

a2k - how to code a simple version check over the net

by: Deano | last post by:

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?

Data access requirements - which version(s) of MDAC for Access on Windows 98

by: Jan Krouwer | last post by:

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

Finding program/"component" version info

by: jeffc | last post by:

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?

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. 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,...
