Provider Cannot Be Found, It May Not Be Properly Installed

Hello Sirs,

I get the following error message when I try to open an access database from a VB6.0 application running under windows 98

"Provider Cannot Be Found, It May Not Be Properly Installed"

The VB6.0 application uses ADO to access the database. The code is as follows:

Set DB = New Connection
DB.CursorLocation = adUseClient

DB.Open "PROVIDER=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" + gAppInfo.VLTDBFile + ";"

I have already verified that gAppInfo.VLTDBFile is valid.

The VB6.0 application makes reference to Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects 2.0 Library.

This application was installed using Wise Install Builder and that the following runtimes get installed:

MDAC26SP1
MSJET40SP3
MSJET40SP5

I e-Mailed these files to the customer and has them install these files, after they run each install, I still got the error message when I tried to open the database.

I ran this installation on a virgin windows 98 machine and did NOT have any problems at all opening the database.

This application was running just fine until the customers harddrive crashed.

I have been working with the customer remotely using PC Anywhere, I am wondering if maybe PC Anywhere is interfering with the installation of the application in that it will not allow it to install the drivers it needs to open the database.

One thing that I do not know is what version of access the database was created with.

Can someone please help me with this

Thank You

Gary
