ACC2: How to Remove the MS Jet 2.5 Database Engine

MORE INFORMATION

1. Quit Microsoft Access or any other program that uses the Microsoft Jet database engine (such as Microsoft Visual Basic).
2. Run the Microsoft file decompression utility DECOMP.EXE. This file is located on Disk 1 of your original Microsoft Access disks. Run the utility with the following command:
   

         DECOMP -f
   						

   
   (The -f parameter causes DECOMP to replace files.)
3. When you are prompted "Enter the name and/or path for the compressed file" type a filename from the table below and insert the appropriate original Microsoft Access disk in the appropriate disk drive. Note that compressed files have filenames that end with an underscore character (_). So, to decompress the MSAJT200.DLL file, enter
   

         <drive>:\MSAJT200.DL_
   						

   
   where <drive> is the disk drive containing the original Microsoft Access disk.
4. When you are prompted ""Enter the name and/or path for the decompressed file" enter the appropriate name and path for the file from the table below. To decompress the MSAJT200.DLL file, enter:
   

         C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\MSAJT200.DLL
   						

   
   Note that this example assumes that you have Microsoft Windows installed in the WINDOWS directory on drive C.
5. Repeat steps 2-4 for each of the files in the following table:
   

         File Name      Location          Size       Version    Disk
         -------------------------------------------------------------
         MSAJT200.DLL   WINDOWS\SYSTEM    995,056    2.50.1117  Disk 3
         MSAJU200.DLL   MS Access dir      98,032    2.50.1108  Disk 2
         MSJETERR.DLL   WINDOWS\SYSTEM     11,232    2.50.1108  Disk 4
         MSJETINT.DLL   WINDOWS\SYSTEM     15,936    2.50.1108  Disk 4
   
         NOTE: The file sizes listed in this table apply only to the U.S.
         version of the Service Pack. The file locations apply only to the
         U.S. version of the Service Pack on 1.44 MB disks.
   						

   
   
6. Delete the MSAJU200.DLL file from the WINDOWS\SYSTEM subdirectory.
7. Restart Microsoft Access.
