PRB: ODBC Version Conflict Messages Launching Visual InterDev

• Microsoft Visual InterDev, version 1.0

SYMPTOMS

When launching Visual InterDev, an error message can occur stating that there is a version conflict between two or more ODBC system files.

CAUSE

Installing Peer Web Services on Windows NT Workstation 4.0 will always overwrite the ODBC files Odbcint.dll and Odbccp32.dll with version 2.50.30.6 of these files even if the files that already exist are more recent. If Visual InterDev is installed first, some of the ODBC files will be the version that shipped with Visual InterDev and some will get overwritten with older versions by the Peer Web Services install.

This behavior causes the version conflict message.

RESOLUTION

To get the ODBC files back in sync, remove Visual InterDev through the Control Panel Add/Remove Programs applet and then reinstall.

To avoid this problem altogether, install Peer Web Services before Visual InterDev.

STATUS

This problem has been resolved in Visual InterDev 6.0.

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

1. Right-click Network Neighborhood.



2. Select the Services tab.



3. Click Add, Microsoft Peer Web Services, and OK.
