DAO 3.5 is for Access 97 format MDBs. DAO 3.6 is for Access 2000 and
newer MDB files and is included with Wnidows 2000 through Windows 7
thus doesn't require an install. Note though that it can read A97
format MDBs just fine.

Thus I'd suggest moving to DAO 3.6 so there is no need to install DAO
3.5.

Now as to what happens in Windows 8? <shrug> Who knows.

I second what Tony said. DAO 3.5 is ancient and may require some dependent
files if you need to install it.
