Hi,

I am wanting to update two DLL'd on a Windows 2000 Proffessional PC. The DLL's are MSADO15.DLL and MSADOR15.DLL. These two DLL's can be found at the following path C:\program files\common files\system\ado

I have a batch file that when executed from the DOS prompt, it renames the two old DLL's, copies on the new ones, then registers them both. This batch file works well on Windows 95,98, and NT 4 workstation. When the batch file is executed on a Windows 2000 Professional PC, as soon as you rename or delete one of these DLL's, Windows 2000 automatically creates a new DLL.

I need to be able to update the version of these to DLL's.

I have even tried writting a VB program tyhat uses these two DLL's, and getting the VB setup program to install and register them, but this does not seem to work either.

Anyone know how to update these two DLL's.

Question: How was your Office 2000 install? Was it a local install or deployed using a GPO?

If deployed office maybe doing an auto repair, which means, you must make the correction at the source and redeploy with GPO on a ZAP file with the modifications.

Office 2000 is not installed on this PC, the problem exists whether Office is installed on the PC or not.

W2K and ME will protect their operating system files from being tampered with. This is a protection messure to stop unauthorised programs from changing system stuff. You will need to get the operating system to upgrade these files. have you tried"windowsupdate.microsoft.com"
