title: Classic asp - 64 bit MDAC reference problem
body: <p>I got an very basic test.asp page that needs to run on a 64-bit server </p>
  
  <p>first i tried </p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;!--METADATA TYPE="TypeLib" NAME="Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects 2.5 Library" UUID="{00000205-0000-0010-8000-00AA006D2EA4}" VERSION="2.5"--&gt;
  &lt;% 
  .... more code 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>does not work (even though i found the reference in COM)
  the i try </p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;!--METADATA TYPE="TypeLib" NAME="Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects 2.8 Library" UUID="{2A75196C-D9EB-4129-B803-931327F72D5C}" VERSION="2.8"--&gt;
  &lt;% 
  ... more code 
  </code></pre>
