Thanks to Frank Colella for addressing this fix. I have had a real problem installing EMC 9 - and had this DAO problem with Ver, 7.5 (never fixed) Tried installing EMC 9 - and startup locked up - used system restore to get back to 'before installing EMC 9' - re-installed EMC 7.5 with DAO problem - using RADEON X700 video card - applied Frank's fix - Voila - 7.5 working (Initialize) OK. I'll now attempt the EMC 9 install and report back. THANKS again Frank

1- Unregister it by typing this at the command  line-

then.
2- Register it:
regsvr32 "c:\program files\common files\microsoft shared\dao\dao360.dll"

Go to START/RUN then copy and paste the Unregister command in the run box. PRess OK
Do the same with the second command to register.

If this fixes your problem, please post with the video adapter you are using.
This fix so far has worked on all the built by ATI AIW radeon and AVIO cards.

Thankyou, this was very helpful.  I tried off and on for weeks  to reload software to find this file and never could.  Your remedy worked perfect.  I followed your instruction exactly as you stated and now I no longer the the error.  Thank you for taking the time to write your anser to thisa problem.

I didn't understand why that darned DAO had to be reinitialized on every Boot either and then I found this thread. Thank you so much!

I had this same problem after installing EMC9, Radeon x1600 graphics card and ATI HDTV card in that order.  When I tried to use EMC9 I got the DAO install error and I did the unregister/register described above and it fixed the problem

thanks for the help!  I googled the DAO.MSI error and found this posting.  While I am running EC7 it still worked.  I am running a AIW X1900 card.

This may sound stupid, but what do you mean by "unregistering it by typing this at the command line"?  What "command line" are you talking about?  Do you mean do this in DOS mode at a command line?

I have a Dell 4600i with an ATI Radeon X850 Pro card.   I recently had a power supply failure which then messed up the hard drive.  I replaced the power supply and then recovered the hard drive.  I then created a new boot drive by copying the old drive over to a new drive using MaxBlast.

Ever since doing that I have had trouble with windows installer error messages.  I think I got those cleared up but now I get the DAO.msi error message.  I think your fix will work, but I want to make sure that I do it exactly as you state.  Thanks!

You can do that either at a command prompt (the 'DOS' window) or type it in as a run command on the start menu

MANY THANKS to frankcolella !!!!!!!!!!!!

  I was having this problem with my Computer running Windows XP Pro SP2 and my Roxio Easy Media Creator 7 Basic DVD.

  I have the ATI All In Wonder 2006 Series Video Card and when I Updated the Drivers to MMC 9.15 and then 9.16 from the 9.14 I continued getting the DAO.msi Error Message no matter how many times I Un-Installed and Re-Installed them trying to eliminate the Error.

      AGAIN MANY THANKS to frankcolella!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What do you mean by "initialize the roxio product you are using." ?

1- Unregister it by typing this at the command  line-
regsvr32 /u "c:\program files\common files\microsoft shared\dao\dao360.dll"

then.
2- Register it:
regsvr32 "c:\program files\common files\microsoft shared\dao\dao360.dll"

Upgraded my video editing computer from ATI AIW 8500DV & EMC7 (which worked fine but was getting very slow as projects got bigger) to ATI AIW X800XT and EMC9.1 and the DAO problem raised its ugly head as soon as I tried to open EMC.  EMC also said my original ATI drivers were out of date.  I first checked Windows Updates Hardware section and sure enough there were 3 ATI driver updates.  The DAO error was still there so I Googled it and found this unreg/reg fix and it worked for me.

One problem though is that after the ATI driver updates from Windows Update were installed, I now have an "Unknown Device" in the Device Manager.  I first did the full ATI update from the ATI website and found that I lost several functions from Media Center that were in the original installation software that came with the graphics card so I uninstalled all of the downloaded ATI SW in favor of the original with just driver updates.  I'm using the original Catalyst and Media Center.  At this time I have no idea what the 'unknown device' is but I'm sure I'll find out when I attempt to use that device at some point in the future...

Thanks for the DAO fix!!!
