SUMMARY
Moderate: Requires basic macro, coding, and interoperability skills.
This article describes how to remove the Microsoft Jet database engine
version 2.5 files that are installed when you install the Microsoft Access
version 2.0 Service Pack. The procedure described in this article removes
only the Microsoft Jet database engine version 2.5 files. It does not
remove the OLE 2.02 files or the ISAM DLLs that are installed with the
Service Pack.
For a complete list of files installed by the Service Pack, please see the
READSRV.TXT file included with the Service Pack.
MORE INFORMATION
Follow these steps to remove the Microsoft Jet database engine version 2.5
files from a single-user system:
- Quit Microsoft Access or any other program that uses the Microsoft Jet
database engine (such as Microsoft Visual Basic).
- Run the Microsoft file decompression utility DECOMP.EXE. This file
is located on Disk 1 of your original Microsoft Access disks. Run the
utility with the following command:
DECOMP -f
(The -f parameter causes DECOMP to replace files.)
- When you are prompted "Enter the name and/or path for the compressed
file" type a filename from the table below and insert the appropriate
original Microsoft Access disk in the appropriate disk drive. Note that
compressed files have filenames that end with an underscore character
(_). So, to decompress the MSAJT200.DLL file, enter
<drive>:\MSAJT200.DL_
where <drive> is the disk drive containing the original Microsoft
Access disk.
- When you are prompted ""Enter the name and/or path for the decompressed
file" enter the appropriate name and path for the file from the table
below. To decompress the MSAJT200.DLL file, enter:
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\MSAJT200.DLL
Note that this example assumes that you have Microsoft Windows
installed in the WINDOWS directory on drive C.
- Repeat steps 2-4 for each of the files in the following table:
File Name Location Size Version Disk
-------------------------------------------------------------
MSAJT200.DLL WINDOWS\SYSTEM 995,056 2.50.1117 Disk 3
MSAJU200.DLL MS Access dir 98,032 2.50.1108 Disk 2
MSJETERR.DLL WINDOWS\SYSTEM 11,232 2.50.1108 Disk 4
MSJETINT.DLL WINDOWS\SYSTEM 15,936 2.50.1108 Disk 4
NOTE: The file sizes listed in this table apply only to the U.S.
version of the Service Pack. The file locations apply only to the
U.S. version of the Service Pack on 1.44 MB disks.
- Delete the MSAJU200.DLL file from the WINDOWS\SYSTEM subdirectory.
- Restart Microsoft Access.
