I'm at a loss as to where to go next. I have a user who is running Windows
2000. I'm trying to use ADO in VB6 using the Microsoft ODBC for Oracle
driver to connect to an Oracle database. I can connect to the database
using tnsping or using WinSQL, but not from my VB application. When I run
Microsoft's Component Checker tool, it says that MDAC version 2.5 SP2 is
installed. The problem is that when I click on the OleDB entry, I get an
error saying coCreateInstance failed and that the OleDB may not be
installed. There are also about a dozen oleDB registry entries that it
can't find. I haven't been able to find any reference to how to install
oleDB apart from MDAC, which is under windows file protection in Windows
2000. Any suggestions?

Hi,
it is not possible to install OLEDB apart from MDAC. I recommend to install
higher version of MDAC for example 2.6.

Thanks. I found out that upgrading to MDAC 2.6 SP1 solved the problem for
me. I tried
re-installing 2.5 SP2 first, but it just told me it was already installed.
I still have no idea how 2.5 SP2 got installed without OLEDB, but apparently
that was the case.
