My installation program gives the user the option to run MDAC_TYP.EXE to
install the SQL Server 7 connectivity components. The Network Library
Configuration is defaulting to Named Pipes. I would like to give the user
the option to use TCP/IP and have the installation take care of it.

How can this be done? Is there a MDAC_TYP.EXE command line option? Is
there a WinAPI function I can use to do it? Is there a INI file setting
somewhere?

My application's SQL Server connect string is stored in an ini file, ie:
SERVER,DATABASE,LOGIN,PASSWORD

Is there a connection parameter to specify the connection method?

Greg - I think you'll have to amend the registry settings in HKCU yourself - no
API I know of.
