SYMPTOMS
When running Visual Studio Service Pack 3 setup the following error message appears:

Visual Studio Service Pack 3 requires Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) 2.1 Service Pack 1 or greater.



CAUSE
Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) 2.1 Service Pack 1 or later is required for Visual Studio 6.0 Service Pack 3. MDAC 2.1 Service Pack 1 is included with Visual Studio 6.0 Service Pack 3. If you do not have MDAC 2.1 Service Pack 1 or later installed, you must install it before installing the service pack.



RESOLUTION
Run Mdac_typ.exe located on the Service Pack 3 CD. If MDAC 2.1 Setup requests that you restart your computer, you must do so and then restart Visual Studio Service Pack 3 Setup (SetupSP3.exe).



MORE INFORMATION
Details concerning Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) can be found in the Readme.htm file on the Service Pack 3 CD.
