MDAC & MS-JET...?

[spinjector]

The nLite components page gives the option to remove MDAC and MS-JET, with the warning that they are needed for some Windows functions such as Active Directory.

Has anyone tried to set nLite to remove MDAC & JET, but then install the latest versions of them with the MDAC 2.6 & JET4 installers from M$...?

Or will the installers just overwrite/update the versions already there?

Is this advisable/impossible/dumb...?

Suggestions..?

Thanks.

spinjector, I have not tried any of this, but my suggestion is to give it a try and report what you learn. I highly recommend a virtual system for the testing (VMware Server, VirtualPC, VirtualBox - all free). Enjoy, John.

Oh I have - I've got the Sun VirtualBox installed, and I've been messing with that all through my learning process. OMfreekinG what a fantastic program that is..!! =-)

I removed MDAC for one time years ago.

I ran into several errors while working with my "slimmed-down-to-the-bones"-XP.

I can`t remember what exactly it was, but I never touched this again.
