Hi Andywest,
Thank you for posting back!
It is bad to hear that the switch /d does not work. Removing all MDAC
related registry key is a good approach, however, it is a time-killing
task. Also, I have another suggestion, you may try REG Monitor which can be
free downloaded from
http://www.sysinternal.com. You may launch REG
Monitore when installing the application that need MDAC 2.7. It will trace
the registry key the installation process accessed. This might show you
some hint to locate the registry key.
I hope it helps.
Have a nice day!
Thanks & Regards,

| Hi Feng Mao
|
| Thanks for your answer.
| Unfortunately the /d switch doesn't work with Component
| Checker 2.0. An older Version is not available for
| download.
|
| I have read on another site that this switch doesn't work
| on W2K at all because MDAC should not be uninstalled.
|
| I'll try to find all places in the registry where MDAC is
| mentioned and remove the keys and then install again.
| Maybe it will work.
|
| Bye
