Thinstall is a revolutionary installation technology that allows software to run
directly from the packaged state without installation or system registration.
The following sample program demonstrates how Microsoft Data Access components can be used
on any machine. The resulting program can be run directly from an Internet Link or CDROM.
No recompilation or source code changes required!

 How to add MDAC support to your program

 1. Download the ZIP file list above and unpack it.
2. Copy all of the directories to your application "base" directory (where your EXE resides)
3. Download and install Thinstall 2.212 or higher
4. Run Thinstall. When asked for your application directory select the directory where your EXE resides
5. Click "Build!" to create a new EXE that will run even when MDAC is not installed

6. To allow your program to run from CDROM, you should preform the following additional steps:
a. Set the option "Menu -> Virtual Files -> Set Cache Directory" to %Temp% instead of %InstallPath%
b. Add a zero-byte Access database lock file "database.ldb" to your project.
c. Right-click on the .ldb file and make sure the option "Extraction / Caching -> Cache on Write" is set.
