MDAC

Is it possible to load out an older version of MDAC i.e., 2.6 sp 2 on an XP
box which has 2.7 or 2.8?
Can the two co-exist?
MDAC cannot be installed in XP manually. It is part of the new OS. You can
only do it for older OSes.

|||That is not my experience. I have a product that uses MDAC 2.5. The
original version of MDAC 2.7 that came with WinXP cause MDAC 2.5 to be
registered incorrectly. If you get the WinXP patch "SP1 Refresh", this will
allow MDAC 2.5 to install correctly and the two version should co-exist.
