Re: HELP! Getting started with CID

["cbass233" <cbass233@xxxxxxxxx>]

I installed the mdac stuff and then reinstalled switchboard.  During
the install I get an error 1904 that says the msado26.tlb field to
register.  HRESULT = -2147024769.

Googling this leads to msft:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;EN-US;Q299645&ID=KB;EN-US;Q299645&LN=EN

It looks like there is an issue with how the msi is built but I can't
be sure.

If I ignore the error and start switchboard I get the same problem I
had before only worse.  I get well over 100 ODBC Installer Error
message boxes.  It actually looks pretty cool watching them fill the
screen :)

In the xAP hub I get a bunch of messages with malformed addresses.

The following message caused an error during its processing.
The address is malformed and does not include a Device name.
The message was received from 192.168.1.16:1277

The error that was generated is as follows:

The address is malformed and does not include a Device name.
