That file is the primary Interop assembly (PIA) for ADO 2.7, and you should redistribute it with your application.
-----Original Message----- From: Steve Holak [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, April 25, 2002 1:36 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [DOTNET] ADO interop I've done plenty of COM interop with .NET, but this problem stumps me. If a component uses a reference set to classic ADO (2.7) ( I have a component that handles an ADO Recordset returned by a COM interop component), it lists "ADODB" in the project references in the solution explorer. I had assumed that this was a msado15.dll RCW wrapper. Running on a machine with the full framework installation, the app works fine. When deployed to a machine with the redistributable runtime only, an exception is thrown when the ADO Recordset is declared. The COM component and the correct ADO version is on the machine. I found that the reference to ADODB is actually to "c: \winnt\assembly\gac\adodb\7.0.3300.0__b03f5f7f11d50a3a\adodb.dll". This is fine for the full Framework machine, but the machine with the redistributable runtime has no GAC folder, although it does have an assembly folder. Any ideas, or am I missing something basic?
