Only on windowsXp service pack 2, I am unable to run my application.
I created a small sample hereby included which doens't work on Xp 2
The error from above arises on : "Set dbConn = New ADODB.Connection"
Any idea please?

Have you added the ms ADO reference?
ASKER
In the ref I have the Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects 2.5 Library msado25.tlb
Additional info : I used the microsoft application wizard to create a setup for the demo hereby included
and indeed this file gives a can't registration error on xp version2

ASKER
Additional info:
after replacing the msado25.tlb by the msado15.dll the setup needs the mdac_type.exe
when downloading mdac_type.exe 2.8 from microsoft and trying to install mdac we have MDAC 2.8 RTM incompatibilty error.
Indeed the register already contains in
LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Mic rosoft\Dat aAccess\fu llinstalve rs = 2.81.1117
Which file is missing or what should be changed in the source to make it compatible with xp version2 ?

After installing mdac 2.8 on proper unit, the reference file msado15.dll is in VB automatically replaced by msado27.tlb.
But after compilation and reinstalling a new created setup file : still the same error on WindowsXP Sp2
I also verified if those files are on the xp sp2 unit; they are.
Somebody has any idea please?

1. Have you tried to add 2.8 as ado reference on your vb project?
2. You can also use late binding
ie
Dim dbConnection As object
set dbConnection =createobject("ADODB.Conne ction")
etc

1. Yes I did so
2. Replaced code with yr proposal
Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim dbConnection As Object
On Error GoTo errorhandler
SendToErrorFile "DBS being loaded", True
strConnection = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OL EDB.4.0;Da ta Source = C:\wvb.mdb"
SendToErrorFile strConnection, False
Set dbConnection = CreateObject("ADODB.connec tion")
SendToErrorFile "Setted", False
dbConnection.Open strConnection
SendToErrorFile "db Connection Opened", False
Exit Sub
errorhandler:
MsgBox Str$(Err.Number) + ":" + Err.Description + Str$(Err.HelpContext) + Err.HelpFile
End
End Sub
Result from testfile should be :
6 okt 2004 14:09:44 - DBS being loaded
6 okt 2004 14:09:44 - Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLE DB.4.0;Dat a Source = C:\wvb.mdb
6 okt 2004 14:09:44 - Setted
6 okt 2004 14:09:45 - db Connection Opened
6 okt 2004 14:09:45 - DBS loaded
But error 429 (1000429) on XP SP2 before object is set online : Set dbConnection = CreateObject("ADODB.connec tion")
Meanwhile it seems to work on some XP SP2 units and on some not.
When latest MDAC or JET is loaded from microsoft > no way to start setup since files on unit are more recent then the downloaded files

You meant it still failed on the line
Set dbConnection = CreateObject("ADODB.connec tion")
?
Set dbConnection = CreateObject("ADODB.connec
?
ASKER
Yes it do (sorry for my long answer I only want to give maximum info)

Tried both, still the same

I replace ref by Microsoft DAO 3.6 Object library (dao360.dll)
Removed all adodb.connections
Replaced dbconnection.execute by dbconnection.openrecordset and a few other items
Dim dbConn as database
Dim rst as recordset
Set dbConn = OpenDatabase(strDBFile)
Set rst = dbConn.OpenRecordset(strTa bleToOpen)
works fine with XP sp2
So if somebody search for 429 error on xp sp2 : remove all yr adodb connections, I gave it up after 4 days.

I don't thine there is problem
Now you use DAO instead of ADO
