ADO installation on win95

[Crazy D @ Work]

I was wondering if anyone has made a program using ADO 2.1 in VB6 connecting to SQL server.
I made the setup, works perfect on Win98, it doesn't though on 95. Installed DCOM98, didn't work, installed Access 97, didn't work (keep getting the error 429 on the line Set c = New ADODB.Connection.
MDAC_TYP runned again, didn't work, DCOM again, didn't work, MDAC_TYP again, and finally it works... now beats me what's going on but windooz 95 sucks.. that's for sure *LOL*
Does anyone has experienced similar problems when installing on 95? 98 and NT works fine.
Ok it works now so it's definitely not urgent... but I'm curious :-) What other problems can I expect when I'm installing the bunch at the customer next week... :-)

I have and the process went like this.

Install DCOM95
reboot
Install MDAC
reboot
Install program
depending on support dll's possible reboot.

Hi
I also faced the same kind of problem.My application also uses ADO and SQL server,access 97 and seagate crystal reports 7.0, VB6.0.
You have to first run the DCOM95/98 service packs on 95/98 and then run the MDAC 2.1 or later service packs.
For windows NT you have to install service pack 3 ,install IE4 or above,install the windows NT 4.0 option pack and then service pack 5 or later and then run MDAC on that.
Hope this helps

Hi, tnx for replying. Yeah that was the way we ran it at the customer, and it almost worked.. ADODB3.51 was already installed, and I'm using 4.0 . But, we recompiled and now it can use both :-)
