PRB: Installing MDAC/ADO/RDS on Windows NT Requires Admin Privileges
This article was previously published under Q177514
When you install the Microsoft Data Access Components
(MDAC) on a system running Windows NT, if you are logged on as a user without
Administrator privileges, you see an error such as the following:
You must have administrative privileges to install or
rollback this software. (MDAC 2.6 or 2.7 or 2.8)
-or-
Insufficient privileges You do not have
sufficient privileges to install here. (MDAC version 2.1 SP2)
-or-
Setup Error 168 Setup has encountered a
problem updating your system registry. (MDAC version 2.0)
You must have Administrator privileges to install the
Microsoft Data Access Components.
Install MDAC while logged in as a user with Administrator
privileges.
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem with the
products listed at the beginning of the article.
There are several components that require Administrator
privileges to install. In addition, the MDAC install must modify the system
registry.
Some components that require Administrator privileges to
install are:
- OLE Automation (Oleaut32.dll, Olepro32.dll, Asycfilt.dll,
and Stdole2.tlb), which is required by MDAC components including OLE DB, ADO,
and RDS.
- Visual C++ Run Time Library (Msvcrt.dll) might also require
administrator privileges to update. Without Administrator privileges, you might
see the following error:
Copy Error
An Error has
Occurred Copying MSVCRT.DLL
- Other DLLs that require Administrator privileges in order
to install correctly are listed below:
Msado15.dll // ADO
Msadce.dll // RDS
Msdadc.dll // OLE DB

Universal Data Access Web site:

didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be

not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
