FIX: DAO Internet Component Download Fails to Install

ID: Q167950

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Visual Basic Control Creation, Professional, and Enterprise Editions for Windows, version 5.0
Microsoft Visual Studio 97

SYMPTOMS

If Office97 is already installed, the MSJET35.CAB file fails to install.

CAUSE

The version of VBAJET32.DLL installed by Office97 does not register as a Win32 DLL. Internet Explorer looks for this property in DLLs that are to be overwritten and will fail to download if this property is not found.

RESOLUTION

The MSJET35.CAB file and the setup toolkit have been updated. DAO will install correctly even if the Office97 version of VBAJET32.DLL is on the client system.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. This bug has been corrected in Visual Studio 97 Service Pack 1.
