Use Microsoft's MDAC redistributable instead by adding it to your project's support directory files and then running it from your InstallScript code.

For MDAC 2.8, you'll want to pass the setup arguments of "/q:a /c:\"dasetup.exe /q /n\"" meaning silent install without automatically restarting the system.

Tks for your help, I just want to confirm smile.gif

As I know, in the InstallScript

#define REG_KEY_MDAC_PATH "SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\DataAccess"

function OnFirstUIBefore()
RegDBSetDefaultRoot( HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE );

if ( RegDBKeyExist( REG_KEY_MDAC_PATH ) < 0 ) then
// not has any MDAC
if( AskYesNo("Install required Microsoft Data Access Components?", YES) = YES ) then
nResult = LaunchAppAndWait ( SRCDIR^ "MDAC_TYP.EXE", "/q:a /c:\"dasetup.exe /q /n\"", WAIT );
// parameter /n (question 2)

if( nResult < 0 ) then
MessageBox ("WARNING: Unable to launch", WARNING);
goto end_install;
endif;
else
goto end_install;
endif;
else
// MDAC installed
szNumName = "FullInstallVer";

if (RegDBGetKeyValueEx (REG_KEY_MDAC_PATH, szNumName, nvType, svNumValue, nvSize) < 0) then
MessageBox ("RegDBGetKeyValueEx failed.", SEVERE);
goto end_install;
else
szMsg = "%s has value: %s\n\nThis data is %d bytes.";
SprintfBox (INFORMATION, "QQQ", szMsg, szNumName, svNumValue, nvSize);

// I has version of MDAC = svNumValue
// I need to check version here (question 3)
endif;
endif;

end_install:
abort;

1. This code is OK ?
2. When you LaunchAppAndWait "/q:a /c:\"dasetup.exe /q /n\""
The parameter is /q /q:u /q:a /t:path /c /c:path /r:n /r:i /r:a /r:s /n:v
but in your command line the parameter is /n . What /n is it mean ?
3. I want to install MDAC 2.81.1117.0 but if the client has installed 2.81.1132.0
How to check it ( convert it to NUMBER and compare ) ?

about question 3:
String compare String, it's OK ( 2.81.1117.0 < 2.81.1132.0 ) smile.gif

when the setup complete. I want a message "please restart your computer"

1. Is there any command to force the computer restart ?
2. This command I have to set where ? I see Dlg_Start, Dlg_SdWelcome. ... Dlg_SdStartCopy in function OnFirstUIBefore, but I don't see Dlg_Finish

To answer your earlier questions, I only glanced at it, but the code seems okay.

Also, I partially described the switches in my original reply, but the /q switch that's passed to extracted dasetup.exe tells it to perform a silent installation and the /n switch tells it to not automatically restart the system.


To answer your latter questions, I would recommend you add a global variable (e.g. BOOL bReboot) for keeping track as to whether or not a reboot is needed.

Then, in the OnFirstUIAfter event which contains all of post-install code, you'll find Dlg_Finish where you can conditionalize whether the displayed finish screen is either SdFinish -or- SdFinishReboot and, in the latter case, pass it a default option of SYS_BOOTMACHINE.
