PRB: "ODBC Resource DLL Is a Different Version Than ..." Error
This article was previously published under Q170769
After installing or upgrading ODBC files, you receive one
of the following error messages:
The ODBC resource DLL
(c:\windows\system\odbcint.dll) is a different version than the ODBC driver
manager (c:\windows\system\odbc32.dll).
-or-
The ODBC resource DLL
(c:\windows\system\odbcint.dll) is a different version than the ODBC setup dll
(c:\windows\system\odbccp32.dll).
-or-
The ODBC resource DLL
c:\windows\system\odbcint.dll) is a different version than the administrator
(c:\windows\system\odbcad32.dll).
The message may appear
periodically on your screen or when you attempt to open the ODBC Administrator.
This error is usually caused by outdated or mismatched ODBC
components. Many applications install ODBC, including Visual InterDev, Active
Server Pages, Windows NT 4.0 Service Packs, and many others. During the
installation of ODBC, a service or application may have been using one or more
ODBC files. The files that were in use could not be overwritten, causing a
version mismatch between the files that were in use and either the ODBC Driver
Manager or the ODBC Administrator.
Because the ODBC 3.0 and 3.5 and
later Driver Manager performs automatic version checking between itself and the
other ODBC core components, it detects the version mismatch and generates the
warning.
Download and install the latest version of the Microsoft
Data Access Components (MDAC). This package updates all ODBC and the newer OLE
DB drivers and resources on the system. The latest version of MDAC can be
downloaded from the following Microsoft Web site:
NOTE: You cannot install MDAC separately in a Windows 2000 computer
because MDAC is part of the system components.
You can also diagnose
and reconfigure your current MDAC installation by using the Component Checker
tool.
