You should always download the programs and install from your local computer. Just an FYI.
A DAO error has to do with database access. Hoster's database files are in Access 97 format.
A couple of question come to mind as far as the installation goes. You state you are running Windows XP SP2. Do you have all the updates since then?
Do you have NetFrame installed? This is required as well but does need to be installed first before installing Hoster.
Are you running any version of MS Office or Works on this computer? If so again you need to make sure you have all the updates for it.
If you have Restore turned on, I would recommend you try that to get back to your Hoster version 3.303. Make sure it is working ok. Then:
- Update your Windows XP
- Install NetFrame if not already installed (should be listed as part of the updates for XP)
- Then run the Hoster install using the "Upgrade"
Be sure you reboot after each step so XP can finish the install of that item.
