Re: [XMLPipeDB-developer] Potential GMBuilder Windows 7 fix?

[John D. N. D. <do...@lm...>]

Greetings all,

I have some follow-up questions on this:

- Does this mean that Microsoft no longer includes the Jet database library (or whatever they call it now) as a default part of Windows 7?

- Under what Odbc-Jdbc bridge name would we be able to find this redistributable version of the driver?

- I agree with Kam that, if this turns out to be the only way to go, it would be a serious inconvenience for our potential users.  Might we be able to include the .dll as part of our own distribution?  (with proper acknowledgments, of course)

Don, please continue to investigate other possible solutions while Dr. Dahlquist gives the current one a shot.  Thanks!

I'm not sure if this may deal with our issue, but running the Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable (which can be found here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=C06B8369-60DD-4B64-A44B-84B371EDE16D ) on the Windows 7 machine before attempting another export might solve the problem.
