When trying to install, Security Update for Microsoft Data Access Components (823718). I get the following error message: dahotfix.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. All other updates are fully installed, this one keeps giving me the error message. Saved the download as a target on the desktop this didn't help.

Don: apparently for XP Pro that hotfix is switch sensitive and best installed using a batch file; 1. AaronXP said at: http://board.msfn.org/index.php?showtopic=8741 MDAC - Requires different switch. Do not use this syntax directly in svcpack.inf. You can create a batch file to call out that syntax from svcpack.inf, or do it from GuiRunOnce: Install using: Q823718_MDAC_SecurityPatch.exe /T:%systemdrive%\install\tmp /C:"%systemdrive%\install\tmp\dahotfix.exe /q /n" /Q 2. gareththegod said to use the following code at: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=8741&st=80 setlocal set PATHTOFIXES=.\critical @echo off ECHO Installing Q823718 Security Update for Microsoft Data Access Components. start /wait %PATHTOFIXES%\Q823718_MDAC_SecurityPatch.exe /C:"dahotfix.exe / q /n" /q @echo on
