ODBC version error

When installing MS Office 2000 premium, I am getting a message stating : " odbc resource dll (c\windows\system\odbcint.dll) is different version to odbc setup dll (c\windows\system odbccp32.dll)
I need to reinstall odbc components.
After checking the relevant file version numbers, windows appears to have installed the setup version from the Office cd, which is different from the version numbers in the system folder.
I have looked at the ms knowledge base for help, and found some stuff that may work, but if the office cd trys to install with its own version number,surely no amount of new files is going to help......
any help on this 1, it's on my bosses wifes computer !!!!!!
AMD 1400 512mb ddr win98se

 

See if any of the resolutions in this Microsoft Knowledge Base Article helps:

Error Message: "Installer Terminated Prematurely" During Setup (Q234928)

 

The install of office continued through to completion, however nothing can be saved, and further error messages occur refering to the data base files

Hope this further info helps
Thanks

 

If none of the methods outlined in the Resolution section of the article worked, then I don't know.

 

Fixed its ass !!!!

Was so simple in the end !!!!! Cant think why I didn't try it 1st......

Got copy of the same file off my puter.... and dropped it into his system folder.. (after renaming the offending file)

Thanks for your help and suggestions

PS... only did this because it wouln't have hurt too much to format if required !
