MDAC MSJVM

[evilvoice]

is there a way to incorporate the mdac update into the mdac_type.exe install? I ask this because for some reason I cant get the update to install correctly from svcpack.inf after install mdac 2.8...yes I know it adds runonceex keys...but using AirMales info in the windows 2000 unattended thread it removes all the runonceex info and registers the stuff itself...so is there another way to get both to install from svcpack.inf or is there maybe some reworking that can be done to it like what was done for msjvm (I dont remember who posted the info for msjvm but its in topics of interest thread) TIA

@evilvoice: When I attempted to get the dahotfix update to take in SVCPACK, I could get the dahotfix to "say it was successful" (via the dahotfix.log) and it wrote the proper registry entries for it's installation. The setupapi.log, on the other hand, showed that the newer dahotfix versions of odbcbcp.dll and SQLSRV32.dll would get over-written by the older MDAC_TYPE 2.8 versions. The windows update site would also catch the incorrect dll's even though the proper registry entries for the dahotfix update were there.

This led me to believe the MDAC_TYPE install was properly handled via the QCHAIN buffer but the dahotfix dll's were written immediate.

I didn't see a way around it (or it was easier) to just apply dahotfix during runonceex.

None of these are actually "slipstreamed" (after all) since these updates are not actually incorporated into the Win2K source files.
