ralexand88 Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 Was I suppose to download this file from somewhere or is it embedded in the code or something? I have one file holding me up from having my cd and it Q823718.exe. I missed a step with this one.Thanks for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 The Dahotfix.exe you're referring to comes from the MDAC update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ralexand88 Posted October 21, 2003 Author Share Posted October 21, 2003 So there's basically nothing to download? This is the only update that is not installing. Can someone take a look at it for me.

RyanVM Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 Meh, just download MDAC 2.8 (KB820761) and call it this way instead ECHO Installing q820761: Microsoft Data Access Components 2.8...start /wait %systemdrive%\Updates\q820761.exe /C:"dasetup.exe /q /n" /q Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gareththegod Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 Im having a problem trying to call the new MDAC 2.8 and getting it to install.Here is my test.cmdsetlocalset PATHTOFIXES=.\criticalECHO Installing Q820761 Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) 2.8...start /wait %PATHTOFIXES%\mdac_typ.exe /C:"dasetup.exe /q /n" /q@echo onpausepausepauseREM shutdown -r -t 10 -c "Restarting after installing the updates. THIS IS PART OF THE SCRIPT AND NOT A VIRUS."I think its the .\ bit it doesn't like but as I use this to use all of the other hotfixes, apps and recommended updates. see picture for error message.The main problem is that I use these scripts so that they can be ran from any drive letter as they are install from either a cd or a sony microvault which these change from computer to computer.I was hoping to add these scripts into an unattended cd if I can get this thing to work.This is the old file that works fine when used. The only downside is this is MDAC 2.7.setlocalset PATHTOFIXES=.\critical@echo offECHO Installing Q823718 Security Update for Microsoft Data Access Components.start /wait %PATHTOFIXES%\Q823718_MDAC_SecurityPatch.exe /C:"dahotfix.exe /q /n" /q@echo on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're sure that you've got the correct filename and the exe in the proper location? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marztabator Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 Jesus, now I don't know which MDAC I should install..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanVM Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 Why not stick with the newest? Like I said before, I've had NO issues installing it. However, I also use system variables, I don't set any myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marztabator Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 If it's the newest version, then why does it have a lesser Q number? And why does it not pop up on Windows Update instead of Q823718? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gareththegod Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 @RyanVMive got the correct filename. when I change the path toECHO Installing Q820761 Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) 2.8...start /wait \critical\mdac_typ.exe /C:"dasetup.exe /q /n" /qIt works. If I remove the . before the first \ then that installs but the rest don't. If I use the above code then this doesn't work if the file is in something like thisthis doesn't work with the above.CD root--hotfixes-----criticalBut does with this. they are the same levelCD root--hotfixes--critical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanVM Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 Go to the "Hijacking DirectX 9" thread and go to the FTP. There's a repackaged mdac 2.8 installer that might work better with what you're trying to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanVM Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 If it's the newest version, then why does it have a lesser Q number? And why does it not pop up on Windows Update instead of Q823718?Having a lower Q number means precisely jack squat. As for why it doesn't appear on Windows Update, your guess is as good as mine, other than I can say that I'm pretty sure 2.8 came out before the 2.7 update.I can also tell you that if you install 2.8, WU doesn't prompt you to install any other MDAC updates when you run it.
