System Requirements

There is usually no need to take these steps as most computers already have all required files installed. But NH Backup requires a number of dependency files and if you get error messages, locate your version of Windows below and follow the instructions.
 

Windows versions newer than Windows 95 (that is Windows 98, ME, NT, XP etc.)

• Visit Windows Update and download the Jet database engine, if listed as an available update (or read more).
   
• Install MDAC 2.8 (MS Data Access and Storage Developer Center).
   
• Re-install NH Backup

If the problem remains, try to:

• Install DCOM98 (hosted file).
   
• Install Visual Basic Run-Time files (hosted file).
   
• Install Visual C++ Run-Time files (hosted file).

Windows 95

• Download DCOM95 (hosted file).
   
• Download the latest version of Jet database engine.
   
• Install MDAC 2.8 (hosted file).
   
• Re-install NH Backup

If the problem remains, try to:

• Install Visual Basic Run-Time files (hosted file).
   
• Install Visual C++ Run-Time files (hosted file).

If you have take the suggested steps and still can't get NH Backup to run properly try this alternative setup file (20 MB).
