Newbie question: test for mdac and vb6 dll's versions

Hi, I'm totally new to NSIS but I like it a lot.

I built a setup for a program I'm developing, and it works fine.

However I need to include in the script a way of checking for the existence and version of both the mdac 2.6+ and the vb6sp6 libraries on the users computer, in order to install the new versions if necessary.

So far my attempts to do so have resulted in compile errors, therefore I'm turning to your help as experts.

Thanks in advance,
echg

See the Users Manual for information about installing the VB6 runtimes.

I will upload a new DLL installation system this week which will make it even easier.

See my article in the NSIS Archive. You can find it here.

zimsms, could you provide a smaller example just for the english mdac 2.8? Sorry, but I'm just newbie and the example you pointed out is a bit to complicated for me just yet. I appreciate all your help. Thanks to all in advance.
(Joost, I'm using the snippet from the user manual for the vb6 libs, thanks)

Try this.
