Installing programs

[Guest]

In the process of testing my image I realized I missed Data Access 2.0 components somehow. (Needed for the OPC client/server I am using

Well I quickly downloaded and installed it on the image. Rebooted and poof
The image will not boot :

It turns out that regsvr32.dll was overwritten with an older one and msvcrt.dll was deleted (this is the reason XP will not boot)

I did the same install on my XP Pro desktop and had not ill effects

Could someone help me out on why this happened and what I can do to stop this from happening in the future

Any advice on using another OPC server/client

All help really appreciated, thanks.

vleisbom,

Do you really need MDAC 2.0?
I think the version of MDAC component in the XPe repository is 2.7 at least.
Can you just add the component to your runtime and see if it works for you?

I guess if you are installing the older version of MDAC it may overwrite the
dlls you mentioned (check the install package).
