When you get the error "This setup does not support installing on this
operating system". It usually means the components are already installed.
(Don't ask me - write MS. <g>)
There is the possibility that the current installation of MDAC has corrupted
components and should be removed, then re-installed. But most likely the
components are just not properly registered (been moving a lot of stuff
around lately).
Do the ugly removed and re-install, or seek out the folders where the
components are stored and do a blanket registration "regsvr32 *.* /s".
You must be an Administrator if you install or register.
