How Do I Uninstall MDAC ODBC Components?

 

It can be necessary to rollback or uninstall the MDAC ODBC components on a Windows server or PC due to version problems or corrupt files.  There is no uninstall for MDAC ODBC in the add/remove programs so you must use the original MDAC_TYP.EXE source to rollback MDAC.  You can download this from http://www.microsoft.com/odbc

 

Once Downloaded run MDAC_TYP.EXE /t:temp path /c

 

Example MDAC_TYP.EXE /t:c:\mdac /c

 

This extracts the files to a folder called c:\mdac or whatever you called it.

 

Then from that folder run dasetup.exe /u from your folder

 

Example c:\mdac\dasetup.exe /u

 

This will uninstall your MDAC

 

You may also be able to uninstall ODBC components using the command:

 

MDAC_TYP.EXE /C:"dasetup /u"

 

I've not tried this however.
