Hello Everyone:
I'm bit  . I'm writing a small utility which will install the MDAC
latest version on a slient mode. I found the switches that I can use to run
the install on Silent mode. Here is the site:
http://support.microsoft.com/defaul.../26setupfaq.asp
Code:
Path = chr(34) & app.path
ReturnVal = Shell(Path & "\MDAC_TYP.exe" & Chr(34) & "/q:a /c:" & Chr(34) &
"dasetup.exe /q:d /n" & Chr(34))
I'm using "dasetup.exe /q:d /n" switches so that if it is necessary the mdac
will prompt for restarting the computer. Also I'm using D switch to detect
if the MDAC files are in use. But for some reason, it never prompts me for
restarting the computer. I have even created small stand alone executable
which will load couple of MDAC objects such as ADOX.Catalog, ADOX. indexes,
tables and etc. If I ran manually MDAC_TYP.exe install while running these
exe, it prompts me to restart the computer. However, when run through the
vb it does not prompts me. When I tried to roll back the mdac install by
running "dasetup.exe /u" it does not because couple of files are in used
they are not update. After restarting manually I can roll back.
In short, I need to know why isn't its prompting me to restart the computer
when I have MDAC file is use.
Please let me know if you need more info.
Thanks in advace
