Re: ADI fails with Office 2000

Mike,

ADI 5.0 is officially not certified with Office 2000 (plus is a pretty old version...). My suggestion would be that you download ADI 7.0, which is.

That said, we had ADI 5.0 working with Excel 2000, but the trick was that it needed an Excel 97 library to be present. In practice, if you install Office 97, and the Office 2000 on the top of it, ADI 5.0 works. I am assuming you have ADI 5.0.3, and have applied the Installer patch to make it Y2K complaint.
If you did not, that could explain the the Installer error you got (which I have never seen): If that machine had Oracle software installer prior that year 2000, that version of the installer cannot install/deinstall software correctly. You need the Installer patch.

If you need more details, let me know. I need to look into some documents to find the Installer patch number (it actually consisted in a new version of the Installer).

Hope it helps,

Massimo
