Installing the ADO Client

This section provides installation instructions for the OpenAccess SDK Client for ADO (the ADO Client) in a client/server configuration.

Important: You must install both the OpenAccess SDK Server and IP SDK and the OpenAccess SDK Client. If you have not already done so, install the OpenAccess SDK Server and IP SDK after installing the ADO Client.

The ADO Client installer on Windows requires the Microsoft Windows Installer service. If the ADO Client installer detects that the service is not installed on your machine, or that an older version is installed, a message is displayed. After installing the Microsoft Windows Installer service, you might need to restart your machine. Then you can install the ADO Client.

The ADO Client installer also checks for Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC). If the installer detects that MDAC 2.7 Service Pack 1 or higher is not installed, an error message is generated.

You must install MDAC.
