[Vista home basic] MDAC Problems


Recommended Posts

I was having trouble creating an ODBC data source for SQL Server. I googled for help, and found a page advising that MDAC should be installed. I downloaded from the Microsoft page here and installed. SQL Server instantly stopped working altogether.

I want to uninstall MDAC. How can I do this?

  • I don't see MDAC in the list of installed system updates, so I can't uninstall. It might be there under a different name, one of those long numbers, but I don't know which one.
  • I've tried system restore, hoping to rollback to before the install. It fails, due to unknown error.
  • I tried uninstalling and re-installing SQL Server. It didn't make a difference.
  • I've tried Component Checker. I understand this can be used to sort out MDAC problems. I get an error message telling me that CC doesn't work on Vista.

Please help.
