XP Home won't upgrade to MDAC 2.8

[Matt Warner]

Hi guys,

We have one customer using XP Home who is getting the following exception:

System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for
"Sol.XSPData.Entity.SolDBProject" threw an exception. --->
System.InvalidOperationException: The .Net Data OLE DB
Provider(System.Data.OleDb) requires Microsoft Data Access Components(MDAC)
version 2.6 or later. Version 2.50.4403.8 was found currently installed.
at System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection.CreateInstanceMDAC()
at System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection.GetObjectPool()
at System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection.CreateProvider(OleDbConnectionString
constr)
at System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection.Open()
at Sol.XSPData.Database.SolServerSql.select(String sql)

but when they download and run MDAC_TYPE.EXE from
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...e3-c795-4b7d-b037-185d0506396c&displaylang=en

They get the message:
MDAC 2.8 RTM is incompatible with this version of Windows. All of its
features are currently part of Windows

The app was compiled using 2003 so it should be using the 1.1 runtime.

What's going on? Do they have any way to fix their mdac version?

Best regards,
Matt.

Try 2.6 or 2.7 and see if that solves the issue. Both are compatible with the
version of .NET.
