Post MDAC 2.8 upgrade, Procedure Entry Point _GetIUMS@4 not found

[Guest]

Running Config of note
- Windows XP Sp1
- Office XP Sp3 + current updates
- MDAC 2.8

Error was
"Outlook.exe - No entry point found
The procedure entry point _GetIUMS@4 could not be located in the dynamic
link library msdart.dll"

Error was seen upon starting Outlook XP. Error repeated several times. Error
recreated each time I clicked on "Outlook Today" shortcut.

This error occurred immediately after MDAC 2.8 RTM upgrade, and continued
after the fix.

Some forums have posted that the error can be resolved by using an earlier
version of MSDART.DLL. I find that the MSDART.DLL dated 8/29/2002 works
nicely, but I doubt it is secure.

There are a lot of people having this issue. Can we please have an update to
either MDAC 2.8 or Outlook XP that will cause the two to play nicely?

Wouldn't it be better for you to ask this of Microsoft? This group is not
an official Microsoft support venue.

Wouldn't it be better for you to be less caustic? Never mind don't answer
that. For the record I got here in the first place from the "unpaid support
options" from Microsoft.com.

Let's turn this a different way.

Anybody else having the same issue, preferably someone who has a better
answer than manually replacing msdart.dll from the WinXP SP1 source files? Or
trying to "reinstall MDAC 2.8" again and again and again as Microsoft has
heretofore recommended?

How was I "caustic"? I didn't call you names or accuse you of stupidity.
What I said was in response to your statement "Can we please have an update
to either MDAC 2.8 or Outlook XP that will cause the two to play nicely?"
Of whom were you asking that, if not Microsoft? And since Microsoft doesn't
follow this group (although there does seem to be the occasional MS employee
here from time to time), I believe my suggestion to (officially) ask
Microsoft was not unreasonable.
