Yes, the one and the same
Hi!
Is that this file ?
All Windows Versions (32.9 mb) - Last Updated 9/19/2007
found here: https://randemsystems.com/os-updater-support#Automatic%20Installation (https://randemsystems.com/os-updater-support#Automatic%20Installation)
The file is uploaded now.
I am uploading a newer version of the Automatic OS Updater. This one uses MDAC 2.8 SP1 instead of MDAC 2.8 RTM and should solve this issue you are having. I will let you know when it is done uploading.

Dear Admin
I come back to this old message because I had two cases those last days of people who where trying to install my soft and got this message:
MDAC 2.8 RTM is incompatible with this version of Windows. All of its features are currently part of Windows.
Eatch time they were under Windows XP professional 2002 SP2.
It is not really an error as the soft was correcty installed but annoying for the user. Who could think there is a probleme (virus, wrong installation, etc...)
So, is there any solution to avoid that message in case using W. XP professional 2002 SP2 ?
I dont want to manage several instal files, so I used your VB_DCOM_MDAC_JET_AutoSetup.exe which is perfect, except whis this situation.
Any ideas ?
Thanks a lot for your answer.
Ps: I changed my name Mosquitout by this one.
That is the correct version date. It will only attempt to install MDAC 2.8 if you are on Windows XP version 5.01 SP1 or below.
The only thing i can think of is if you are installing on a different language and it returns the version number in a different format. This would cause it to attempt to install MDAC 2.8.
The file VB_DCOM_MDAC_JET_AutoSetup.exe I put on my package is from the 24/01/2006 19h15.
mosquitout,
What date is on the AutoOSUpdater file your friend is using? I imagine that that is what you are referring too.
Hi !
Back from vacations and still the same probleme, do not know how to solve it.
Apparently, my friend has Mdac 2.7 installed on his PC and, when installing my application, it tries to install Mdac 2.8. Here is the message (in french ;o)
MDAC 2.8 RTM n'est pas compatible avec cette version de Windows. Toutes ces fonctionnalit
Great, Glad it's working out.
Ok, I added manually :
[UninstallDelete]
Type: files; Name: {app}Kaf
It should be deleted unless there is something holding it open or a file still in the folder. Is the file fond.jpg in use at the time of uninstall? If so then it has to be deleted manually.
If not then you probably could try to place in the UninstallDelete section the line to delete the folder and the remaining files.
Try installing your app, restarting the computer then do an immediate uninstall to see if this works. If so then your app is holding th folder and files open.
I am still waiting for my friend'tests, and inform you as soon.
This happened with only one case ! so hope it is due to my friend'pc.
Well since I am there, a little bit question. When installing, it is advised to install everythings in TOTO (directory). Great, but when I test uninstall function, this directory (TOTO) is not erased !? how could I have it disappeared.
And same with an image in it Fond.jpg, and also internet link = @toto
Here is part of my script :
[Setup]
DefaultDirName={pf}TOTO
DefaultGroupName=TOTO
PrivilegesRequired=Admin
[Files]
Source: d:Fond.jpg; DestDir:{app}; Flags: ignoreversion
[UninstallDelete]
Type: files; Name: {app}toto.url
mosquitout,
What happened??? Any Progress?
Sorry, I haven't seen your last message, ok I re-download the updater and try again....
Ok, thanks, I think using AutoOSUpdater is really the best. But, still have a problem with an installation on windows xp sp2 = Mdac 2.8 RTM non compatible with this windows'version, all the fonctionnalities are yet installed
So ? how can I do ?
If you could, Re-download the updater and try again. It is possible that it was corrupted (one thought).
With the error message you supplied:
Mdac 2.8 RTM non compatible, all functions are still installed.
It looks like something is attempting to uninstall MDAC 2.8 RTM not Install it.
Ok, I understand. Well here is d
mosquitout,
Yes, the size is large because it has to handle all cases. That is why it is automatic. If it only handled one case... Not so automatic...
Ok, I use ADO with an access database (vb6 prog).
Means if I include the latest Mdac and the latest Jet components it should be all right ?
Indeed, the AutoOSUpdater seams the best solution, except the size...
Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC). There are several and some are OS dependent.
Some of the applications do not use databases so they do not need MDAC's.
It depends on how you are accessing your database on which MDAC that you need. DAO you need MDAC 2.5. If you install the later MDAC's you have to install the Jet components seperatly. You would be using ADO for that (assuming you are using VB6). There are a few other variations that you need to check also or you could just GET LUCKY on your installation.
There is research to see which you need or you can use the AutoOSUpdater that has all the research done.
you could use the smaller MDAC and SP independently, what do you mean by smaller MDAC ?
you would need to have several different installation, How did applications you can find on Internet ? they did not ask you before downloading, witch OS you have ! and all of them are less than 5-6Mo.
At microsoft' you can download all kind of Mdac, the latest is Mdac 2.8 SP1. If i include this one in my package, does that mean it will work for all OS ?(as it is the latest it should)
Aloha mosquitout,
The AutoOSUpdater does not attempt to install MDAC 2.8 on an XP system. MDAC 2.8 comes pre-installed with XP. You do not have to use the Automatic Updater you could use the smaller MDAC and SP independently but you really need to know what you are doing and to keep the installation smaller you would need to have several different installation, one for each OS.
You have not gone into detail about what, when or how it happens so I cannot give you any helpful information on your situation.
Hy,
As written there, i included on my package the whole file vb_dcom_mdac_jet_autosetup.exe.
First I can not understand how make other applications we can find on internet, I mean with this file, my application is at least 34Mo !!!!
Never we find such big files on internet !? so, Ok to put this file to avoid problemes with OS'differencies but it is really ...
And then, a friend tried to install my application (containing this file)and...had
Hi !
Does VB_DCOM_MDAC_JET_AutoSetup.exe file has changed recently ? I have just downloaded it (All Windows Versions Including Vista (32.9 mb) - Last Updated 9/19/2007) but when looking at his properties, there is no version informations (0.0.0) so compared to the old one, I do not know if there was transformations.
Thanks for your answer and have a good day ;)
Just check the file dates. That will tell up if there was an update since the last version you have.
I will be updating that file in the next day or so with the newer flags I mentioned.
Ok, just one more question to be sure, in my script i put:

What version of InnoScript are you using?
If you include the AutoOSUpdater in your script the VB Runtime files will automatically be removed avoiding manual intervention.
Also change

to
Source: c:program filesrandem systemsinnoscriptinnoscript 4.0vb 6 redist filesasycfilt.dll; DestDir: {sys}; Flags: sharedfile restartreplace

I use Inno Setup 5.2.3
Ok, many thanks for your advises ;)
Version of InnoScript???? Not the same as Inno Setup...
Sorry, I use InnoScript 4.0
Well I used it to make my script and now only use Inno Setup to update it.
You do realize that the current version of InnoScript is 9.0?
It is a free upgrade for registered users...
well well well, I feel a bit ashamed but ... since everything worked well sor far, I never wonder about a new version.
But I will see for this last version as soon.
Thanks
Ok, if you decide to use it we are beta testing version 9.1. If you make the jump you might as well start with the next generation...
