Hello,

I am in evaluation mode and like the product, but I am having a problem with my 64 bit vista machine. I am trying to access a database which is on 64 bit SQL Server 2005 SP1 to create a project, but when I click connect...BOOM...I get this

Fatal Exception caught in SqlDBDriver::RetrieveAllCatalogsBody:Exception: The .Net Framework Data Providers require Microsoft Data Access Components(MDAC). Please install Microsoft Data Access Components(MDAC) version 2.6 or later. The .Net Framework Data Providers require Microsoft Data Access Components(MDAC). Please install Microsoft Data Access Components(MDAC) version 2.6 or later. Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {2206CDB2-19C1-11D1-89E0-00C04FD7A829} failed due to the following error: 800700c1.

Is there any work around? confused

Thanks in advance,

Same issue was reported here: http://www.llblgen.com/tinyforum/Messages.aspx?ThreadID=7477

It sounds like a .NET bug . We know for a fact that there are people using llblgen on vista with sqlserver 64bit, so it's not that it's in our code.

(edit) With a little bit googling I could only find this: MDAC Problem
