MDAC

    Note After you apply MDAC 2.8, you may receive the following error message:
    Argument passed to the Data Shaping Service was invalid

    838405 FIX: "Argument passed to data shaping service was invalid" error after you apply MDAC 2.8

  • SQL Server 7.0 Clustered Servers Do not install Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) 2.6 or later on any SQL Server 7.0 clustered nodes. If you install MDAC 2.6 or later on any node in the cluster, (directly or through the installation of another program), it may cause a failure of the SQL Server Agent or other SQL Server services. For additional information, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

    820754 MDAC 2.6 or later should not be installed on SQL Server 7.0 clusters

Setup

  • Windows Rollback On a computer that is running Windows 98 or Windows Millennium Edition, if you try to roll your MDAC installation back to an earlier version, your computer is left in a mixed state where your files are not all from the same version of MDAC. This behavior occurs because of a problem with the setup technology that is included with Windows 98 and Windows Millennium Edition. For additional information, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

    311720 MDAC rollback may fail on Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows Millennium Edition

  • 2.8 MDAC_TYP.exe and Microsoft Windows Server 2003 If you try to run the 2.8 MDAC_TYP.exe file on a computer that is running Windows Server 2003, installation of the MDAC components appears to complete successfully. However, no files are updated on your system. This behavior occurs because by default, Windows Server 2003 includes the MDAC 2.8 components.
