This problem is caused by a mismatch between the Comcat.dll and Ole32.dll on your Windows NT 4.0 or Windows 95/98 system. Comcat.dll is used to register .DLL and .OCX files during installation and must match the version of Ole32.dll for this process to function properly. If you have version 5.0 of Comcat.dll, then Support Aide will not be able to properly install and register DAO and the installation will fail. This 5.0 version of Comcat.dll is not distributable, and should not be found on NT 4.0, or Windows 95/98 machines. Lakeside Software is currently investigating what application(s) are violating Microsoft deployment rules by installing this version of the .DLL. If you encounter this situation, rename your 5.0 version of Comcat.dll and copy in a 4.xx version of Comcat.dll from another machine in your environment. This will allow Support Aide to install properly.
