If anyone is interested I found the what fixed it for me.

On the inf files listed below uncheck the read only attribute in the file
properties.

C:\winnt\inf directory:

rspfiles.inf
dasetup.inf
wdsetup.inf
mdacxpak.inf
msxmlx.inf
sqlnet.inf
sqlodbc.inf
sqlxmlxp.inf

And then run the MDAC_TYP.EXE for 2.8
