Delphi 6 , ADO deployment problems

I am having some severe crashes with a Delphi 6 app I wrote
for 3 or 4 people to access an SQL 2k  server database on our server

The app works fine on Pc's that have delphi installed

All the other  PC's have been updated   with MDAC 2.6  (23 Apr ) which we
downloaded from Microsoft
but they sometimes
- Get a stack overflow on startup  ( Usually win2k)
-  Win98 pc's  seem to run parts of the app  and hang at certain points
- One  clean Win98 pc with the exe and MDAC 2.6 worked fine ??

It seems to me I am missing some required files ( or versions of files) that
need to be deployed

Does anyone have any suggestions as to any other files ( from Borland ?)
 that need to deployed with the Exe

TIA

Nigel

Hi,

If you have any missing files this will not cause any hangs or some things.
I think that the problem is in versions of installed files.

Re:Delphi 6 , ADO deployment problems


what version of msie do your clients have ? i had over 200 pc across the us
and three of them had ie version below 5.x. as soon as i told them to
install ie5.5 service pack1 and reinstall ado2.6 and they been fine so far.
also my clients are 128MB RAM. coincidentally, the 3 bad ones have only half
of 128MB. i assume you installed delphi 6 2nd upgrade pack also.

Re:Delphi 6 , ADO deployment problems


Thanks for your input

loading MDAC 2.61 seems to have fixed the problem

( we had tried  2.60 and 2.70 and neither worked)

I didn't know there were  2 Delphi 6 service packs already ?
