Running the sample consumer sampclnt program

If you try and compile and run the microsoft sdk sampClnt using their instructions they leave out one important detail:

running sampclnt.exe
Sun Jul 12 11:22:41 2009

Connecting to the SampProv sample data provider...
Error at file: c:\program files\microsoft sdks\windows\v6.1\samples\dataaccess\oledb\sampclnt\sampclnt.cpp  line: 317
CoCreateInstance: Returned <unknown>
Error at file: c:\program files\microsoft sdks\windows\v6.1\samples\dataaccess\oledb\sampclnt\sampclnt.cpp  line: 206
GetSampprovDataSource: Returned <unknown>
Error at file: c:\program files\microsoft sdks\windows\v6.1\samples\dataaccess\oledb\sampclnt\sampclnt.cpp  line: 122
DoTests: Returned <unknown>

so the fix for this is to first compile the sampprov project, then switch into C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.1\Samples\dataaccess\oledb\sampprov\Debug, (like, open a command prompt..)

cd C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.1\Samples\dataaccess\oledb\sampprov\Debug
regsvr32 sampprov.dll

THEN you can run the sampclnt example, making sure to put the .csv file it uses in the same directory as its executable.

I only knew this from a hint from this post, where he says

Hi, what is the problem with the OLEDB sample client, obtained from Data
Acess SDK 2.8?
I registered the sample provider as regsvr32 \sampprov, which was
successful.

Here is the log:
