Sounds interesting, thank you. If I may suggest an improvement to the distribution channel, I'd like to recommend an alternative free host for the file, as RapidShare has never been to my liking for certain reasons: here's ShareBigFile, discovered through Auto-Patcher for Windows 98SE.
Hopefully it'll be of help, as it currently supports download managers, resume, etc.

KB870669 is obselete

Q870669 installs the ADODB.Stream ActiveX Object registry fix:

-----Begin cut & paste here-----
REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\CLASSES\CLSID\{00000566-0000-0010-8000-00AA006D2EA4}]
"Compatibility Flags"=dword:00000400

------End cut & paste here------

and it is both a M$ IE 5/6 fix and a MDAC 2.x fix.
But as far as I'm aware M$ has not added it into any MDAC cumulative/newer fix.
So any cumulative MDAC update [like Maximus-Decim's] needs this fix.

On the other hand, M$ has added it as part of MS IE 5/6/7 Cumulative fix a while back:
http://www.mdgx.com/ietoy.htm#IEC
So any cumulative M$ IE 5/6 update [like MDIE6CU and IE6UPD] do not need this fix.

HTH

The KB870669 is included both in the MDDACU (other.inf) and in the MDIE6CU (q931786.inf)

Can I ask on ask on behalf of all the noobs out there.

Who needs this update?

Does a casual user benefit from it?

@ MD

i was getting really excited when i saw this in your _readme.txt file for MDDACU 1.3

For silent installation it is necessary to unpack archive (this cab-archve)
in any directory and to run the "setup.exe /Q"

but true silent doesn't automatically reboot, or it shouldn't because it's still not usable in Auto-Patcher without special code being written just for this title. It would be really good to include and i might go ahead and write that special code, but maybe its easy for you to correct this. So, is there a way to stop the automatic reboot if the user uses "setup.exe /Q" ? ... please let me know, and cheers for this package, it's heaps better than my offering in Auto-Patcher. My intention is just to put your file there and get rid of the rest. Saves on space too. This is why i'm letting you know how keen i am to put it in AP. Let me know!

that's a good question .. does anyone know the answer? i don't ...

Correct me if im wrong but i think Norton System Works 2005 needs some files from this update...

Thank you for the update!

I've just gone back to making 98SE the Windows version installed on my system and had previously used this update to ensure that all the MDAC stuff was properly and fully installed. I had been concerned that it hadn't been updated in a while. And I wasn't sure if the MDAC module in soporific's Auto-Patcher included the 2.5 stuff that is left out of the official 2.8 versions. I knew that your updater installed the necessary parts.

I just applied it. Thanks again.

Shouldn't this thread be one of the stickies? Seems to me this is about the most complete, least confusing method of ensuring MDAC and friends (whatever it is they do ) are installed correctly.

Hi MD,

Is it possible to make your 'silent installation' a true silent installation? What i mean is that the computer doesn't automatically reboot - this defeats the purpose of the silent switch. I've asked this before and you never replied, so i'm asking again, is there any good reason why the computer has to reboot automatically when using the silent switch? Why can't the user reboot themselves, after all they used the silent switch didn't they? The user knows they have to reboot.

Eagerly waiting your reply,
Soporific.

@maximus-decim
Thanks for the update. It woks for me.

But, I found this in my registry after installing.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Updates\DataAccess\%COMPID%]

"%COMPID%" ?

I found some other similar issues.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\ActiveX Compatibility\%KillBit_GUID%]

I tracked it back to OTHER.INF.
These string definitions seem to be missing.
All related to KB870669.




Thanks again. Your work is much appreciated.

Small fix for english version MDDCAU 1.4 (for KB870669 ) and new link:

http://rapidshare.com/files/96162308/MDDACU14E.EXE.html

Thank you sir.
Now it is complete.

@MDGx: I sure think this topic merits becoming stickified... Would you please consider it?

Here's a new update

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/...n/ms08-069.mspx

Any new MDDACU Updates in future?....thanks

i having problem installing the MDDACU,
however when i copied ole32.dll from winME cabs into windows\system (in real dos), MDDACU installed just fine.

i guess, my ole32.dll got corrupted somehow.

According to MDGx's website (see above) MDAC 1.4 is for Win98se. Perhaps this is the cause.

Thank you MD for your continuing nice work! Much appreciated.
