MDAC Version

[Patrick]

Does anyone happen to know what the MDAC version is that comes installed
with the new Vista OS build? Service Pack 2 for XP came with version 2.81
(XP was 2.8). Are they keeping 2.81 for Vista or did they update? The
regkey to find the currently installed version for XP is
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\DataAccess (FullInstallVer)... not sure if this is
the same for Vista. I do not have the new build for Vista and would like to
find out... so if someone who has recently performed a clean install of
Vista could check for me I would appreciate it!

Andre,
Could you check the registry (FullInstallVer key) in
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\DataAccess, thanks!

The FullInstallVer not Full21Install. Should say something like
'2.81.1117.0' (which is XP - SP2 MDAC version).

Looks like the version information is incorrect as in all other driver
version numbers stated in another post ("Back to the future?"). All
versions look like they are set to '6.0.5038.17'. Even MDAC... which is
highly unlikely Microsoft would go from 2.8 to 6.0. The way to find the
currently installed MDAC version is to do the following:
1. Start/Run
2. Type 'regedit' and click Enter
3. Browse to HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\DataAccess
4. Find the Data for the key FullInstallVer
