I seem to remember that when we were Beta testing this version, several of us had a problem with the song.mdb file being corrupt. This could be the case here since DAO is an Access problem. Try deleting your song.mdb file. Then open Hoster. If this was the problem then it should rebuild the song.mdb file and all will be well.
For your problem with the Plextor drive the only thing I can think of is firmware update for the drive. I know there is one on Plextor site as I saw it listed today. I have a 760 also, so I need to update mine as well.
Hope this works.

I did get the same error #. It is 1706 (No valid source could be found for product DAO. Windows Installer cannot continue). However, I only get this error code after Windows repeatedly trys to find the DAO installation package and I finally hit the cancel key.
I did delete the song.mdb and songbackup.mdb files. When I started Hoster, this is what happened:
1. I start Hoster.
2. The next screen says Please wait while Windows configures DAO(Gathering Information).
3. The progress bar starts across its box but stops.
4. Another popup box comes up and says. "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. In the middle of the popup box there is a line that says "Click OK to try again or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package DAO.msi in the box below." The box below contains the folder where Windows is looking for the installation package. This location is c:\Docume~1\Locals~1\temp\_is2 something.
5. I click ok several times with the same results.
6. I click cancel
7. I get the 1706 error.
8. I click ok.
9. Hoster starts and automatically rebuilds the database.
It appears to me that the new installation or upgrade installation of Hoster triggers the DAO installation. The installation of Hoster must delete the prior DAO installation and so it must be installed again. It also appears to me that if I could point Windows to the location of the DAO installation package, it might be able to install it and everything would be fine.
After Hoster starts, I can search for songs etc. and it finds them, they will play and everything seems fine but I have not tested everything I might do during a show.
I am able to import a cdg disk into the playlist. I have not tried to import anything into the database as of yet.
Do you know if Hoster deletes files and rebuilds them or what Hoster does when you select upgrade installation option?
As for my Plextor, I believe I have the latest firmware upgrade because that is the first thing I do after I get a new drive is to check for firmware updates but I will check their website. The drive seems to working fine though.
Thanks
