The DAO SDK, when used with:
- Microsoft Visual C++ 5.0 Standard Edition

This article was previously published under Q176427

SUMMARY

The DAO SDK that was provided with Visual C++ 5.0 (RISC Edition) does not install correctly. A new version is now available to correct the problem. Users on Alpha Visual C++ version 5.0 will not be able to access the DAO components until the updated DAO SDK is installed.

The file Daorisc.exe (5.5 MB) is a self-extracting archive that extracts the new DAO SDK for RISC. Alpha users should run the Setup.exe located in the disk1 directory.

NOTE: The ALPHA version of the Jet Database Engine does not contain the Installable ISAMs (Microsoft Excel, Microsoft FoxPro, and so on). The ALPHA version of Jet allows access only to Jet Database .mdb files.
