I wanted to keep
this topic separate from the AVTS 1.3.7 announcement in a (possibly vain)
attempt to not confuse.
If you *upgrade*
Windows 95 or the first release to Windows 98 to some newer OSR of Windows 98,
before the upgrade you will also need to install a "migration DLL" to prevent
the upgrade from clobering your MDAC. The migration dll is not needed when
upgrading to Windows 2000 or Windows NT. Although the readme file doesn't
mention it, I assume re-installing MDAC after the upgrade would also do the
trick.
Now, there is no
reason to stress about this. I can't imagine why anyone would upgrade
their AccuVote-TS' operating system in the field, but I wanted to make
everyone aware of the issue in the event it does come up. When MDAC ships
from the factory, it will include this migration dll, so eventually this will
all be moot.
The migration dll zip file now in the ATFix directory for people who want to
play. It includes a readme file with directions on what to do with
it.
