I am running Win 98SE and recently installed Jet 4.0 without a problem. However, when I try to install MDAC 2.8 (or earlier versions) I receive the following three messages during installation:

"Error registering the OCX c:\Program Files\Common Files\System\ADO\msado15.dll"

"Error registering the OCX c:\Program Files\Common Files\System\OLE DB\sqlxmlx.dll"

"Error registering the OCX c:\Program Files\Common Files\System\OLE DB\sqloledb.dll"

The complete installation is failing even though it responds a though it finished.

When I try to manually resgister the dll's using regserv32 I receive a different error message "...LoadLibrary..."

used to have a tool to sort out MDAC.

The install used to overlay so it looked like you had more than one version. All sorts of DLL hell was the result.

The tool would go in and kill the old versions properly.
