Roxio Media Creator 7 cannot find DAO.msi

[MikeSp]

Long ago, when I first started burning CD-R's, I had loads of problems with Roxio and switched to Nero which had no problems. When it came to a suite that would burn CD-R's and DVD-R's, Roxio receives very high ratings in the popular media, so I gave it a try and after installation came the first glitch. When I click the icon to start the program, it tries to "configure DAO" and the installer cannot finish that process since it cannot locate the file "DAO.msi" that it thinks is in a temp file. A thorough file search for it on my main drive as well as on the install CDs has no success. Anyone out there have a similar issue and know of a solution?

I believe this relates. I had a similar problem with programs looking for ODBC - turns out downloading and installing MDAC from Microsoft fixed the problem. It is a data base management problem - DAO stands for Data Access Objects.
