Mdac 2.5

[tkroeckel]

Hi,

I have to distribute MDAC 2.5. In the dependencies forum, there are the modules available from 2.6. How can I implement the MDAC 2.5 into the SUF7.0 environment?
Regards

Why would your software not work with a newer version on MDAC?

If you really need to distribute an out-of-date version of MDAC, you'll find it is quite easy to simply modify the MDAC 2.6 detection and installation code. Just download that module and take a look at the detection script. It is well commented and easy to follow.

The ONLY reason to distribute MDAC 2.5x is because it contains the JET database engine which was removed for MDAC 2.6x onwards. But as there is a perfectly good JET 4.0 installer in SUF7 there is no reason to have an installer for 2.5x. I certainly do not install MDAC 2.5 anymore and that is on basic Windows 95 machines.

So as Ted suggests, you'd be better off using MDAC 2.6x
