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_ROOT\CLSID\{54AF9350-1923-11D3-9CA4-00C04F72C514}\InstalledVers
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\ole db\msdadc.dll
by extracting the version number from it. Theres an unsafe example here:
