Error Couldn't fine installable ISAM
Scott Holmes
Database it works great on the production machine and on a test machine but
when the client installs and runs the app they get a "Runtime error 3170
Could not fine installable ISAM".
Searches all point toward an incorrect registry setting for MSRD3x40.dll and
MSRD2x40.dll ISAM files. Registry settings are correct... the files are
where the registry says they are and still it will not work... I have tried
an uninstall reinstall.
The clients machines are NT4 on an NT network. So far the app has been
installed locally only.
None of the KB articles I have found address this specific situation (VB6
app with a data control reading an Access database)
I even found some references on this newsgroup but nothing that helped.
I'm at my wits end, anyone???

What service pack are you running? Should be SP5. Are you using the Package
and Deployment wizard for the distribution? Just wondering because
installers that are based on the Windows Installer (like Visual Studio
Installer and InstallShield) need SP5 merge modules too.. When they
distribute runtime files, they pick up these merge modules and use those
even if the components installed on your system are newer.
Also... have you considered getting rid of the data control or switching to
the ADO data control?

Thanks for the links, The only one I hadn't seen is the first one and that
doesn't apply (not a foreign language install). I'm using SP5 and
installing with Install Shield Express 3.53 (using the one click web install
method). I don't know how to tell if I have SP5 merge modules. (I'm kind
of new to the whole "merge module thing" Any enlightenment would be
appreciated)
I would love to use ADO but I'm still weak in that area and I have time
constraints (they took a month to make the decision, and now they want it
yesterday :-( ). When I finally get comfortable with ADO rest asured I
won't use the data control again.
It's really a very simple application using a single table database and it
runs fine on all the machines I have personally installed it on.

3.53 too.. *big* improvement over 3.50.. ay?
Windows Installer Merge Modules Download - English
http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/downloads/updates/sp/vs6/sp5/mmenglish.asp
What I did after downloading the updated modules is....
browse to C:\Program Files\InstallShield\InstallShield Express\Modules
select the i386 folder, hit ctrl-c then ctrl-v to make a backup of that
folder
extracted the merge modules to my temp folder (wasn't sure of the imbedded
directory structure in that self-extractor)
then, just moved the entire contents of that self-extractor to C:\Program
Files\InstallShield\InstallShield Express\Modules\i386
fwiw, InstallShield also has an updated set of merge modules... but, I chose
to get them from MS.. (cut the middle man and all <g>) they should be the
same either way.
