Provider cannot be found. Error Message
If you are getting the "Provider cannot be found. It may not be properly installed." error message and have Microsoft MDAC and the Microsoft Jet Engine installed it is telling you that you have a faulty installation.
This error means that the relevant ADODB driver is not installed. The OLE DB provider is either unavailable or is not registered. This can be caused by an incomplete upgrade or bad install of the Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) components.
One or more of the DLL files were not properly registered during installation and we have a small batch file that can fix this for you.
Download and run this setup program:
http://wcarchive.cdrom.com/pub/bws/bws_102/fixmdac.exe
When run, this will place a batch file named fix-mdac.bat on your desktop. Simply double click it to run it and it will register the DLL files for you.
NOTE: If you do not have the Microsoft MDAC and Microsoft Jet Engine installed, we have links at http://zpay.com/download.htm where you can get these tools.
