MDAC 2.6 Problem

• 
  Hi Mark,
  
  I don't recognize the product version because we haven't released a SQL comparison tool with a version number greater than 6.x. I'm guessing this version attribute was written by InstallShield, so you're probably attempting to install SQL Bundle 5. If that's the case, it checks the MDAC version strictly by looking at one registry key, which sometimes didn't get updated during an MDAC upgrade. This information should work around the problem:

  First, right-click the following file in Windows Explorer and note the version number shown on the Version tab of the file properties dialogue:
  
  C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\msadc\msdfmap.dll
  
  If the version number is greater than 2.80, then change the registry key at:
  
  HKLM\Software\Microsoft\DataAccess\FullInstallVer
  
  to reflect this version number.
  
  If the version of msdfmap.dll is less than 2.80, please upgrade MDAC by visiting Microsoft's download website at
  
  http://www.microsoft.com/downloads
  
  and acquiring the latest version of MDAC for your operating system.
