dao360 registration

[mans]

Hello,

I have recently distributed VB6 applications (using an Access2000) to many users. Almost all cannot start the app. and instead get "Active X Error 429..". The problem is resolved when we manually register dao360.dll, on many occassions it is not even installed in the system directory and I need to email dao360.dll to them (mdac_ty is also run independently).

I have checked the installation process and dao360.dll is shown as one of the many files being installed. I have also shut down (permanently) all programs running in the memory (aside from systray and explorer) to make sure there is no interference during installation. This did not help. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions about what is stopping the registration of dao360.dll, this is becoming a real problem.

Thank You

if you are installing the app on a windows 2k environment then first disable the Windows File Protection (WPF) you can do this by editing the registry.. regedit32 and navigating to this hive: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NTCurrentVersion\Winlogon]
Now look for a value called: SFCDisable and change its' value to ffffff9d (this will disable the SFC/WFP) and setting the value to 0 (Zero) will enable it. Always backup your registry BEFORE making ANY changes to it.


Good Luck,
