I have a VB.NET app that includes the option for the user to create a new
Access DB file for use. On some systems the user gets an error that a
required COM component could not be found. The error includes a CLSID but
not a module name. The users claim that the CLSID cannot be found in the
registry so I cannot pin down the missing dll.

This does not occur on all systems - about 1 in 3. All systems are Win XP
Pro with Office 2003 installed.

Does anyone have an idea of what I need to include in the Package/Deployment
project to resolve this problem.

I think I have an idea of what is causing this. I believe msadox.dll is
missing on the target system. My package and deployment project gives the
following error when I try to build with a reference to ADOX included. Any
information on how to resolve this?

C:\2005 WGI\CGPrograms\InstallCGLabels\InstallCGLabels.vdproj 'MSADOX.DLL'
should be excluded because its source file 'C:\PROGRAM FILES\COMMON
FILES\SYSTEM\ADO\MSADOX.DLL' is under Windows System File Protection.

These articles may help:

You might also have to redistribute MDAC to ensure your clients are running
the same version as you are using while developing:

That is exactly what I had done. The problem is that I get the error that
msadox.dll cannot be copied.
