Good find! I am downloading it now. Did you try to install DirectCD 2.5d and use update on that? I am hesitant to screw up my system but will take the leap <g>.

CRAP! I installed 2.5d and then tried both the setup and update executables. The _setup.dll file was in one of the subdir's but that didn't help when running setup.exe and, even though 2.5d was installed, I was informed that no qualifying adaptec products were found. Crap :-(

I installed 2.5. Then I also tried the update. Same story. So I tried to run the update again and I copied the temp files from my local settings\temp folder. I then copied all of those over the extracted 3.00 files in another folder. I ran setup again. It went farther then told me there was an error copying something. Closer but not yet there.
Good work - keep trying and then let me know how to do it <g>.

Try this..... Extract the downloaded file. I used Winzip. There is a subdirectory called 0011 inside the directory called setupdir. Rename it to 0009. That is where the missing DLL belongs. Then you will be able to run the install. Let me know if the install finishes for anyone. My experience was that it tries to move your version 2.5 files someplace else. The move operation craps out and you are left as if you never installed version 2.5. No shortcuts, program files or add-remove entries remain. Computer still worked afterward.
I got it to work by installing 2.5d, the patched 3.0 update from http://members.home.com/mlafreniere1/ and then the patch installs just fine. However, it offers me no more than 2.5d did because standby and hibernation are still hosed. I am going to wait for the one from Adaptec USA. Let me know if the ACPI functions are working for you. I am so glad I keep a Ghost image of my system to restore in these circumstance <g>. After that experiment I uninstalled directcd but my boot time was increased and I started getting WMI errors which were not fixed by typing winmgmt /clearadap. No more experimenting for now
