Problem with .Net Framework 2 on certain machines

[Programatix]

Hi,

I'm trying to distribute my application written using .NET Framework 2.0. It
uses a MDB file for it's database.

On certain machines with Windows XP (I have also tried updating them to
SP2), I received this exception when the application tries to connect to the
MDB

"The .Net Framework Data Providers require Microsoft Data Access Components
(MDAC). Please install Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) version 2.6
or later."

I have checked the machines using Component Checker Version 2.0 and has
confirmed that the MDAC installed on the machine is already 2.8 SP1.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

you are probably missing the jet oledb part as this is starting of the 2.5
version of MDAC not included in the package ( seperate install )

Hmmm... I tried downloading Jet 4.0 SP8 and installed it on those machines
but it still doesn't work.

By the way, Microsoft Access XP is already installed on those machine. In
this case, Ms Jet 4.0 should have already been installed on them.

Have you installed MDAC?

Err... I have already stated that I have confirmed that the machines
involved already have MDAC 2.8 SP1 installed.

after some investigation .. i found that a lot of people encounter problems
with MDAC 2.8 and XP
pre SP2 shopuld be solved by just reinstalling MDAC 2.8 ( found some
postings that stated that replacing the inf files is enough )

however computers with SP2 need a litle workaround to fix MDAC

OK, how to repair a copy of MDAC 2.8 on WinXP with SP2 installed

first, locate the mdac.inf file in c:\windows\inf right click and
install
when prompted for a location, point to
c:\windows\servicepackfiles\i386 then when promtpet for the XPcd,
either load the cd or point to c:\i386

this reinstalls / repairs MDAC 2.8

Hmmm... but the funny thing is, the problem arises when the machine was
still without service pack!

The problem started out with this specs,

OS: Windows XP (No service packs installed)
Office XP with MS Access installed.

Then, I upgraded it to SP2. The problem is still there. Then I installed MS
Jet 4.0 SP8 and the problem is still there.

Sigh...
