DLL registration failed

Hi Guys

I've installed an app. on WinXP and two of the dll files
have failed to self-register.

They are MSJRO.dll and MSADOX.dll

Obviously the app. doesn't work without them.

I've tried to register them manually with Regsvr32 but I
get an error message "LoadLibrary("MSADOX.dll")failed -
The specified module could not be found)".
I've checked to make sure the files are in the windows
system folder and have tried with different case
sensitive typing, but no luck.

Can anyone suggest somrthing ???

Many thanks

Dave

Try to install MDAC_TYP.EXE (v2.5 or up) which can be downloaded from www.microsoft.com/data/download.htm

Hi

My setup program install MDAC 2.6, but it obviously won't do anything on XP. It is quite strange because I've installed this app on 5 other XP without any probs !

Any suggestions ?

Dave

My final suggestion ;)
Try the Jet 4.0 SP3:

Hi Flyguy


Well thanks for your latest suggestion but Jet40Sp3_Comp.exe is also part of the installation.
So I take it it's one of those things !?!?!?

Oh well, I going to try a few different things to see if it work !

Thanks anyway for your help

Just an idea...sometimes I run into things that SOUND like your problem because of the rights of the user...or lack of rights. Log on as administrator and see if the same problem arises.

Another idea may be that this machine has a higher MDAC version already installed and the conflict is saving you headaches in reality and not causing them? Will the app still run if you Ignore this error?

Hi

We are logged as administrator and the version of MDAC is the one updated with the SP1.

We can't ignore the problem as the app just refuse to connect to the database when it reaches the first ADO. The error is picked up by the error handler and the err.description is "Ado Users: Class not Registered".

This is what made me think that one of the DLLs wasn't properly registered ! but it doesn't seems so now !!!

I've tried to re-install MDAC 2.7 and the JET 4.0 again but no success there. I'm just gone carry on testing different options to see if I can resolve it.

If anyone has any suggestions please say it as I really would like to know the causes of it !

Cheers
