1. I found something.
See this article
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q232060&;

It mentions

>>>
the path for the SQL Server ODBC driver in the registry entry is either
invalid or is pointing to a network driver. This causes the MDAC
installation to fail.

Go to the following registry entry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC\ODBCINST.INI\SQL Server

and change the "driver" and "setup" values to point to the local
Windows\System (Win9.x) or Windows\System32 (WinNT and Win2000) directory.
Then restart MDAC setup.
>>>

Could this be it?

2. Another possibility is to use MDAC 2.8 SP1 rather than just MDAC 2.8
