Distributing VB.NET application with ADO accessing Jet 4.0

Hello!

I am writing and application which uses ADO to connect to
Microsoft Access 2000 database (a .mdb file) using
Microsoft.Jet.O LEDB.4.0 provider. I wish to distribute
this application later on. I would like to make sure this
application will work propperly even if the end user has
Windows 98 / NT 4.0 (2000/XP as well) installed and does
not have Microsoft Office installed (or has Microsof
Office 97 or earlier). What componnent should I add with
the installer. Is MDAC necessary? I know ADO.NET requires
MDAC 2.7 or later but is it the same with ADO. Do I have
to redistribute JET 4.0 or will it be contained (by
dafault) in my distribution. Any hints I would
appreciate, thanks for help!

Hi all, I am writing a small PHP accounting and office management application and would like to learn how to "package" it for distribution. It requires the use of a small MySQL database which is my main concern. How do I distribute that...and insure that it can be used, i.e., having the proper MySQL services running. Any comments or direction to sources of info will be greatly appreciated... Thanks in Advance,

I have been going around in circles trying to understand the method of creating a database in VB.Net 2003 and distributing that application and database. It seems if I use the Server Explorer to create the pledbConnection etc, the link to the database works ok on the local machine but when the application is distributed, the program points to the original path (which of course is different to the target system). Is there any way to...

I read an article by, by Mike Groh, in Access-VB-SQL Advisor Magazine, Week 37 that concerns me quite a bit on distributing Access Applications commercially. First I need to describe a "commercial version" of my application that I hope to distribute after completing all the beta testing: A. It was developed using MS AccessXP Pro (developers edition), B. It has a front end MyApplication.mdb and a MyAppBbackend_be.mde; the front end is...

It happens much too often that I have to tell a client how to fix up missing references when I send them an application, especially if the client is distributing it to different users. It makes me look unprofessional (which I guess I am to some extent). I've tried the fixuprefs() function I got from the knowledge base (that uses the qryTestRefs and checks for error 3075), but it doesn't seem to get called, and I still get the problem. I'm...

Hi everyone, I am using the MSComm32.ocx in my application. Visual Studio itself created an Interop wrapper dll and included the ocx in the application directory. I packaged these when creating my setup project for the application. However, on the target machine, when the application is run and the MSComm32 lib is referenced - it gives an error saying "class is not licensed for use".

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

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,...
