If the redistributable MDAC 2.8 SP1 Setup is being run as part of a larger installation, see the following section titled 'Silent Setup,' which shows the command switches used to prevent Setup from restarting the workstation immediately. For example, Internet Information Services (IIS), Component Services (formerly Microsoft Transaction Services MTS), and Microsoft SQL Server are all services that may use MDAC components.

#MICROSOFT DATA ACCESS COMPONENT 2 INSTALL#

There are several services that may use MDAC components and should be stopped in order to install the MDAC components without restarting the workstation.

#MICROSOFT DATA ACCESS COMPONENT 2 WINDOWS#

Use the Services applet in the Windows Control Panel to shut down running services. However, shutting down system services, which are applications that run in a special context for the operating system, is not as obvious or intuitive. The procedures for shutting down applications are generally obvious and simple. This will allow the user to try and shut down those applications in order to try to reduce the need for a reboot. When the MDAC 2.8 SP1 Setup program is run, it tries to detect if any of the files it will be installing are being used and raise a dialog to inform the user of this. Shutting down applications and services that are using MDAC components will minimize the possibility that the redistributable Setup will try to restart the workstation to complete the installation. Sometimes, however, you may be able to avoid restarting the workstation. The redistributable MDAC 2.8 SP1 Setup will sometimes require the workstation to be restarted to complete its installation. See the Microsoft Data Access and Storage Developer Center Web site for more information about redistributing MDAC 2.8 SP1. The ADO components (including RDS) and some OLE DB modules require administrator privileges on Microsoft Windows NT, Microsoft Windows 2000 or Microsoft Windows XP to install and register correctly. This program is a self-extracting compressed file that installs the run-time components onto a workstation. MDAC 2.8 SP1 includes a redistributable Setup program, in the file mdac_typ.exe.

#MICROSOFT DATA ACCESS COMPONENT 2 LICENSE#

This article does not change the terms of the license agreements in any way. Other applications will use MDAC components, and if they are not part of the same released set, the applications will probably crash.Д®ach release of MDAC includes a license agreement, which gives you specific rights to redistribute some of the files in MDAC. Although it is tempting to try to distribute only the modules for the components that you think your application may need, there is no supported way to do that. The interdependencies of the modules are complex they must all be distributed as a set. These modules were tested together when Microsoft released them. It should not be installed on any later versions of the data access components.Д®ach release of MDAC includes a matched set of modules. Note that this redistributable version should only be installed on Windows 2000. This topic provides information about redistributing MDAC 2.8 SP1. However, there is also a redistributable version of MDAC, MDAC 2.8 Service Pack (SP) 1. Similarly, Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) 2.8 was included with Windows XP and Windows Server 2003. It is not distributed separately and cannot be redistributed. Windows Data Access Components (Windows DAC) 6.0 is included in Windows Vista.
