Ugrading MDAC
Hello,
I have a question regarding installing a newer version of MDAC on older systems-I am getting differing opinions on whether this is problematic or not. I have a VB6, Excel/Word VBA commercial app for which I need to install MDAC before installing my app if not present. I use my Wise Installation System Version 9 to install my app and MDAC 2.6 SP1. One prospect has an old Win 98 Office 97 configuration and I wonder if there are any potential problems or issues installing this newer MDAC on an older system like that. Per a MS KB article, it will work, but I'm wondering if it will create any problems with his other current apps,etc. Also I am wondering if I should upgrade to MDAC 2.7 or 2.8 for this and other installations with other OSs. I realize that version 2.7 I believe comes with WinXP and I wouldn't want to install anything for that, but would it be best to install 2.7 or 2.8 in earler OSs and would the latest MDAC be best? One third party website recommends 2.8 for all platforms. Also, does anyone know if there are any newsgroups dedicated to MDAC? I couldn't see any. Thanks, God bless Van .. |
