my beta testers error - looking for MDAC 2.6 or later

[Cary]

Hi all,

I've spent the last year writing a new pricing application for my employer.
Everyone within the company and my first few beta testers are doing fine, but
I have one who is getting this error message:

"The .Net Date OLE DB Provider (System.Data.OleDb) requires Microsoft Data
Access Components (MDAC) version 2.6 or later. Version 02.10.4202.0 was
found currently installed."

Where can I tell him to get the updated version, and is it possible to build
a checker within the program that will check to see if this system
requirement is met, either during installation or when the program is run?

Many, many thanks,

Cool. Is there any way to check for this when running the vb.net installation
routine?
