Uninstalling MDAC Problem

[Bug_zs]

Guys/Gals,

In another post I made:

http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=125121

I noted that Windows Update said to install.....

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/...n/MS06-014.mspx

Security Update for Microsoft Data Access Components 2.8 Service Pack 1 (KB911562)

When I tried to do it I got three mini-windows that said that my version of MDAC

could not be identified.

I ran the MDAC Utility Component Checker v2.0 2005 and the ID window said that I

had version "2.8 SP1 On Windows XP SP2" even though I'm running 98SE.

What I'd like to do is start fresh and uninstall the MDAC and reinstall it

but I can't find a way to do it. All Google searches come up with "Run

MDAC v2.8 and use it to uninstall MDAC". But running MDAC v2.8 will only

do an install, with NO "Do you wish to uninstall?" option.

Any suggestions?

That's normal. Mine also says that and it's running OK. Guess it's a bug in the Component Checker. Don't worry.

Yes. Let it be as it is or, even better, apply Maximus-Decim MDACCU while you're at it.

Den, thanks for the heads-up about the Component Checker.

BTW: Just where can I find Maximus-Decim's MDACCU? Google came up empty.

Sorry, Bug_zs! I misspelt it. It's MDDACU. Find it here: http://www.msfn.org/board/Maximus-Decim-Da...ess-t93448.html

BTW, even before Googling, always look here: http://www.msfn.org/board/Important-Stickified-P-t95815.html, where you'll find out that there is also the MDIE6CU, for IE6, by Maximus-Decim, which may be of interest to you.
