 |
|
I've built my application using Delphi 7 on Win XP Pro. It is supposed to
run on all Windows versions >= 98. I've made use of ADO (TADOQuery,
TADOTable, TADOConnection, TADOXCatalog, TADOCommand,
Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0, Jet OLEDB:Engine Type=5) to connect to
Access 2000.
Somebody has tried to run it on Windows 98. They got an error message right
away. After installing some newer MDAC (I don't know whether it was 2.6 or
2.7) they could open a sample database but still got an error message when
trying to create a new one, which is done using the TADOXCatalog.
Could somebody please give me a precise list of things that need to be done
to make my application run on all Windows versions >= 98? I would also
appreciate a list of files that need to be included in an InstallShield
setup or what else needs to be considered for the setup.
TIA.
Brigitte

A precise list would be rather difficult. One thing that seems to be missing
from your list is the Jet40SP3 install. Microsoft removed the Jet provider
from MDAC a while ago, 2.5, IIRC. On http://www.microsoft.com/data you should
be able to find the Jet components listed separately.
