Mdac Xp 2000

My Development machine is Win XP Pro.
I have MDAC 2.7, Visual Studio 6.0 SP3 Installed.

I am running into some issues where a vb program i wrote runs perfectly fine (Using ADO) when connecting to sql server but only runs fine on half of the windows 2000 machines i tested on.

Anyone have any suggestions? even stranger is that the versions of the odbc driver on the 2000 box are newer than the versions on my xp box with MDAC 2.7 SP1 installed.

All machines have DSN's set up exactly the same. I even tested with a DSN'less connection just to be sure (same result).Refer to event viewer logs for any kind of information in this regard.

MDAC Upgrade

Please advice.
I have a WIN 2K SP3 ADV Server that runs SQL 2K with MDAC
2.6 SP1.
I would like to upgrade this to MDAC 2.7. Can I simply
run the MDAC 2.7 update or what is the Microsoft way to
do this.
Help Appreciated.SQL Server 2000 Service Pack 3a comes with MDAC 2.7 Service Pack 1a, so the
best way is to install the SQL Server Service Pack.

We run Win 2K SP4 and SQL2000 SP2 +. Remember to make sure that the server
MDAC is at least the same level as the client or higher. MDAC can introduce
changes that cause things like DTS, run from the client, to fail.
We upgraded the server to MDAC 2.7SP1A and then the clients. A simple
download and then run the DASETUP.

MDAC reinstall under Win XP Sp2

Hello Guys!
I have a corrupted MDAC Installation on a Windows XP Sp2 Client.
The Application we use responds with the message "provider not found" for a
MS SQL 2000 Connection.
Poorly i cannot just install MDAC again since the setup denies that under
Win XP Sp2.
Is there any way to reinstall MDAC or heal this corrupt part? A reinstall of
the Service Pack did not solve it.
Greetings,
Daniel Guenther
Hi Daniel,
Thanks for your post.
From your descriptions, I understood that you would like to reinstall MDAC
in Windows XP SP2 box. Have I understood you? Correct me if I was wrong.
Based on my scope, the reason why you cannot complete the installation was
that Windows XP Service Pack 2 comes with MDAC 2.81 already so that it is
not necessary for you to install it.
Anyway, if you want to reinstall MDAC manually, you could follow the steps
below (anyway, I will not recommend to do so if there is nothing wrong with
your MDAC)
Navigate to the folder c:\windows\inf. Right-click on MDAC.INF and click
"install."
It will recopy the mdac files and reregister some of the basic registry
entries.
It will ask for the Windows XP CDROM as well as the Windows XP SP2 CDROM.
Some other pointers here:
- When it asks for the Windows XP SP2 CDROM, you will need to point it over
to c:\windows\servicepackfiles\i386.
- When it asks for the Windows XP CD, you will need to have the cd in the
drive and point it over to D:\i386 (assuming D is the cdrom drive.)
- If you do not have the Windows XP CD, you may have an i386 folder on
drive C (if the OEM manufacturer put it there.) In this case point it over
to C:\i386.
If all aboves doesn't resolve your problem, please paste your
c:\WINDOWS\dasetup.log here and I would love to make further research.
Thank you for your patience and corporation. If you have any questions or
concerns, don't hesitate to let me know. We are here to be of assistance!

|||Hello Michael!
Thanks alot for your quick answer.
Poorly your tip didn't help me much.
I have no idea why, but this setup is not able to copy any single file
during the installation.
I only get the file query dialog again and again.
NTFS Permissions are checked, i am admin and can write/read from
source/destination dir.
The files to copy are definitly in the windows\servicepackfiles\i386
directory.
To be true, I am lost actually... ;)
The logfile btw. does not contain a single entry of my actual try to install
mdac.
So, you have probably another hint for me? ;-)
Greetings,
Daniel Guenther
|||Hi Daniel,
Based on my scope, the file query dialog box comes again and again only
when incorrect file path was specified. Could you confirm you had use the
right ones?
Another workaround is reinstall Windows XP Service Pack 2. It seems you had
tried this, but please try again. Make sure to follow the instuctions in KB
below to reomve first.

|||I am having a similar problem with MDAC after the installation of XP
SP2. I have run the MS Component Checker tool in its default mode and
it produces an error message stating that you must select a specific
version to check against. However MDAC 2.81 XP SP2 is not listed, only
a the previous Mdac 2.7 XP SP1 and this returns a whole list of
errors. If XP SP2 includes MDAC 2.81 then presumably previous versions
are not required. Is there any way to remove all the old MDAC
components, registry entries etc with a clean install of XP?
Thanks

|||Hi Daniel,
Have you tried to uninstall XP SP2 and then reinstall it? Does this resolve
your issues? I am just checking on your progress regarding the information
that was sent you! I wonder how the testing is going. If you encounter any
difficulty, please do not hesitate to let me know. Please post here and let

very hard for me to continue with the troubleshooting.
Looking forward to hearing from you soon

MDAC Component Checker

I am on a win 2003 server and have run the component
checker and found 2 errors. The files obdcbcp.dll and
sqlsrv32.dll have mismatch errors. There errors say
expecting version 2000.85.1022.0; but the problem is that
I have 2000.85.1025.0
How can I fix this?
Thanks in advance,
Stewart
It sounds like you have installed MS04-003 to thsi system. The sqlsrv32.dll
and odbcbcp.dll from that patch are version 2000.85.1025.0.

Maximum Memory Configurations

What is the maximum amount of memory SQL2K can address per instance using the following configuratio
WIN 2003 32 bit Enterprise Edition OS with 32 GB RA
SQL2K SP3 32 bit Enterprise Edition w/ hot fixe
AWE Enable
/PAE switch in boot.in
Lock pages in memory enabled for MSSQL Service Account
The BOL says SQL2K 32 bit can address up to 8 GB of RAM on Win2K Advanced Server but has no mention of max memory allowed.It is my understanding that each instance will be able to use all of its =addressable RAM. In your scenario you could configure three instances =to use 8GB of RAM and you could have a fourth using 4GB of RAM. That =would allow 4GB of free memory for the OS to work with. Of course you =could install more instances, but you would want to limit the amount of =RAM each uses so that you do not run into problems by trying to allocate =more memory than you have in the server.

Maximize Sql Server 2005 Memory.

Hi ,
I just installed my new server with spec show below ,
1. Win 2003 R2 32 bit
2. Sql Server 2005 32 bit
3. 4 Processor 2800 Mhz
4. 8 GB of RAM.
As I know , enable an AWE will maximize the memory usage of the Sql
Server. Is it true ? Before this , I need to set the "Lock Page Memory" ?
My intention is simple , is to make sure Sql Server 2005 fully untilize
the memory since this server only have one instance and with no other's
application sharing with it.
Please advise how is the proper configuration. Many thanks.
Travis Tan
If this is a brand new server you might have been better off going with the
x64bit versions of the OS and SQL Server (assuming the hardware is x64 bit
capable) so AWE would have been unnecessary. But in this case you do need to
turn on AWE and PAE (PAE may be turned on by the OS automatically) for the
OS in order to get the most out of this. Then set the MAX Memory of SQL
Server to no more than 7GB to allow the OS to have enough memory to operate
properly.
