Deploying ADO app to W9x platform (DCOM98?)

[msc0tt]

I'm just finishing a simple app on my W2K system. The app uses ADO to talk to an Access .MDB database. I'm using the Package and Deployment Wizard to create the Installer. My Packaging Report informs me that:
"You have included mdac_typ.exe in your installation package. If you will be installing this package on a Windows 95/98 system, it will require DCOM98 to install properly.".

Yikes - I need to cover this base! What is DCOM98? Is it a simple thing to add to a Win9x system in the field? Where can I get it? Other implications?
-with thanks,
Mike.

Go to

http://msdn.microsoft.com/default.asp

and search for "dcom98". The results include the downloads for Win 95/98 and documents that will answer your questions.

It's no big deal.

Just Download and you should be set. Typically though Win98/Me have these already installed.
