Summary: When running MDAC_type.exe, the installation ends
with "INF Install failure. Reason: Access is denied."
I belong to the Administrators group and I did also try to
install the MDAC as Administrator (both the local and the
domain one) -- no difference.

I am going to summarize my up-to-date experience which
still did not help to solve the problem.

Details: The MDAC 2.8 SP1 is the prerequisite for
instalation Visual Studio 2005. For some reasons I use the
MS Windows 2000 Server, SP4, 5.00.2195 as a development
environment.

In my case, it seems that the C:\WINNT\INF\rspfiles.inf
files caused the ACCESS DENIED problem even though
it was successfully opened and closed during previous steps.

The steps displayed in the "Microsoft Data Access
Components 2.8 SP1 Setup" window:
* End User License Agreement -- checked, pressed Next.
* Checking... (displayed shortly, probably checking if
the DLLs are in use.)
* Installing the Software (Setup will now install Microsoft
Data Access Components 2.8 SP1. Click Finish to begin
the installation) -- clicked Finish
* Installing Components (Installing MDAC Setup Response
Files.) -- displays the message box with error icon,
title "Advanced INF installer",
text "INF Install failure. Reason: Access is denied." -- OK
* Setup Could not Complete (Setup cannot be completed because
an error was encountered during setup. Please contact your
software vendor for more information. Click Close to exit
setup.) -- Clicked Close.

I did follow the "Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC)
Installation (May 2005)"
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnmdac/html/data_mdacinstall.asp
including the "Troubleshooting Setup Issues".

I tried also "How to MDAC setup troubleshooting guide"
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q232060

and "Frequently asked questions about the installation of
Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC)"
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=842193 Revision 2.0;
November 21, 2005

Then I have downloaded the ComponentChecker and discovered
that my current MDAC version is UNKNOWN (or the like
message) because of mixing more versions (Occasionally, I
have installed and uninstalled MS SQL Server 2000. The
result was that versions of MDAC from 2.5 through 2.6, 2.7,
2.8 were installed.) Using the tricks described in the paper
(letter?)
http://msauer.mvps.org/images/error.pdf#search='MDAC 2.8 SP1 failed'
I successfully reached the status when ComponentChecker
shows the MDAC version 2.8 RTM (no mismatch in COM Details
or in Registry, only some mismatched files related probably
to SQL and Office).

Then I did unpack the mdac_type.exe for MDAC 2.8 SP1 to
c:\MDACsetup281 and got the www.sysinternals.com utilities
ListDLLs, FileMon, and RegMon.

I am using the AVG Antivirus; so, I did deactivate the Resident
Shield, E-mail Scanner, and the Shell Extension. I believe
it should be enough. I did not completely uninstalled the
AVG antivirus.

When logged-in as the local administrator, I have ensured
that msado15.dll, oledb32.dll, and odbc32.dll are not used
(ListDLLs).

Then I have run the FileMon and set the filter to
"dasetup.exe". After, I have launched the
c:\MDACsetup281\setup.exe and clicked until everything have
finished. You can find the following logs zipped in the
http://www.skil.cz/MDACproblem/MdacAccessDenied.zip:

dasetup.log (C:\WINNT\dasetup.log)
MdacFilemon5.LOG (filtered by "dasetup.exe")
MdacFilemonRspfiles5.LOG (filtered by "rspfiles.inf")

Here are the snipets that caught my eye...

Thanks, Dave,

but it did not help. I have Windows 2000 so I did use the regedt32.exe
instead of regedit.exe.
I had added the Administrator and the Full control permissions, but the
symptoms are still
the same. I am willing to learn new things to dig deeper, but I do not know
where to dig
now. Is the subkey
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup\Migration
DLLs
the general one?

(I do not understand the purpose. I had graduated at CS dept.
but I do not have deep knowledge related to MS OS.)

pepr


This one may help.
