Mdac Hell

[delicate]

Programs running mdac don't run in my windows 7

& naturally i can't install 2.8 here cause mdac is part of the os.

One program says i can't run it because my system needs mdac 2.8 sp1 or later

& the other one:

"the exception unknown software exception (0x0eedfade) occurred
in the application at location 0x75d09673."

&

Exception at 00185F3B. Error creating object.

i managed to install mdac 2.1 successfully through the setup without installing an invasive 400 mb nonsense office access package, since one program pretends i need 2.1 or later.

i also managed to install 2.8 through extraction & inf installation .. .

an mdac checker detected that i have mdac in win7.

But i still cannot open apps requiring mdac to run .. .

I have tried the windows file checker unsuccessfully

& asked a programer what dll loads the program's interface & he told me
it was msado15.dll

i basically have all those files:

Now .. .

In winsxs folders, i have two types of msado15.dll
-V6.1.7600.16688
-V6.1.7600.20818

He proposed me to register msado15.dll in:
C:\program files\common files\System

So i unregistered & registered those files in the system directory
& also in the System\ado directory (program files);

-Nothing works .. .

Ps: I have another version V2.81.1117.0
in C:\Windows\System32\DllCache

So if i have registered & unregistered those two win7(6.1) versions
in two different locations unsuccessfully (even restarted), & registered
dlls using "repair mdac & msjet 1.5.0 by tweaking.com, besides killing myself,
or reinstall everything (not interested) which would be extremely invasive
after 10 months of tweaking, customizations & program settings,
what can i do ?.. .

Some of DLLs and EXEs made for XP simply would not run in 7.
Since you have an Windows 7 Ultimate and are not willing to update those other programs, the only solution might be running a virtual version of XP (aka XP MODE) on Win7.
