Win98 and XP can't share Access?

M

Mal Stone

We have a mixed network (1 x WinXP, 1 x Win 2K, 5 x Win98) where all users
connect to an Access 2000 database on one of the Win98 machines.
Knowledge Base article 209137 states the importance of matched versions of
Jet to avoid corruption (which we now have).
All but the XP station now have jet version 4.0.8015.0 but the XP has
4.0.8618.0. This latest version is not available for the Win98 machines, so
how do we downgrade the XP station?
Security Bulletin MS04-104 says that the update (837001) can be removed with
Add/Remove Programs, but hotfix 837001 doesn't appear in the list! This
approach did work on the Win2K station.
It's also not in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Updates\Windows
XP\SP2\KB837001\Filelist as indicated in the security bulletin.

Any ideas on how to get the elusive update for '98 or remove it for XP?
