What's the answer if NOT using ADO.NET?

Unable to install or run the application.   The application requies the assembly ADODB 7.0.3300 to be installed in the Global Assembly Cache (GAC) first.
.NET Programming

What's the question? You want alternatives to ADO.NET?

Back on 2/15/2006 dalsym posted the following:  (ID: 21738031)

I built a small Windows Form in VS.NET 2005 that basically just enters parameters into a stored procedure (SQL 2000) and runs it.

It runs fine on my development machine, but when I try to install and run it on the client it will be used on, I get this error:

-------------------------------------
"Unable to install or run the application. The application requires that assembly ADODB version 7.0.3300.0 be installed in the Global Assembly Cache (GAC) first."
-------------------------------------

I have set the .NET Framework 2.0 and Microsoft Data Access Components 2.8 as pre-requisites.
I have also tried the two methods of distributing the pre-requisites: (download from vendor, download from same location as application - in this case I have downloaded and placed the .exe files in the app's IIS folder)

The .NET 2.0 Framework seemed to install just fine, but I keep getting this message, and also no indication in Add/Remove Programs that MDAC is installed.

Thanks!


The solution was to use ADO.NET and not ADODB.  I woulld like to know what the solution is without having to change all my code to ADO.NET.
