I hope I am posting this message in the correct news group. This is my third 
attempt and I haven't received a single reply yet. If anyone has any idea on 
how to solve the problem described below I would really appreciate it!!!

I have built an installation program for a BCB6 project using InstallShield
Express. The project uses a MS Access database and I have the ODBC alias
setup correctly and the progaem works. However, in order to get the ODBC
stuff to install it requires the file ODBCJT32.DLL to be included in the
installation build. When it tries to install this file I get an error
message saying that it cannot install it because it is already present (an
older version) and Windows is protecting it. After I acknowledge the message
the installation proceeds and everything works as it should. This is not a
message that I want my clients to see. Does anyone have any ideas?

That file is part of JET which is included in MDAC.  It is also protected by
System File Protection on supported platforms.

If you need to make sure it is present, include the latest MDAC merge module
in your install.  The MDAC merge module can correctly install/upgrade jet on
any target Windows OS.
