DAO version 3.6 is required for applications using DAO that need to read and
write to Access 2000 .mdb database files.
MORE INFORMATION
Dao360.dll was released with Visual Studio 6.0 Service Pack 3. It can be
found under the \os\system directory of the Service Pack 3 image.
To redistribute DAO 3.6 with an application, complete the following three
steps.
DCOM95 should be installed on Windows 95 systems that do not have DCOM
installed. DCOM95 is distributed in a file called Dcom95.exe. A reboot of
the system is required after installing Dcom95.exe. DCOM is required for the
Mdac_typ.exe to work. DCOM is pre-installed on Windows 98 and Windows NT
systems, so this step is only required for Windows 95.
Run the latest version of Mdac_typ.exe to install the Microsoft Data Access
components. Most components required to use DAO are included in the MDAC
redistributable setup file Mdac_typ.exe. For example, all the DLLs that
comprise Jet 4.0 are included in Mdac_typ.exe.
Create a directory with the name DAO under C:\Program Files\Common
Files\Microsoft Shared and copy Dao360.dll to this directory. In addition,
Dao360.dll must be registered as a COM DLL. This can be accomplished by
using the Regsvr32.EXE utility.
Visual Studio Service Pack 3, Mdac_typ.exe, and Ddcom95.exe can be
downloaded from Microsoft.com/Downloads.
