    I am assuming that you are all talking about MDAC 9.0 here...

    What I would do first is try running the MDAC9.0 setup directly..and see if
    it will install that way. You should find it on the Disk1 at the WCU\MDAC9
    folder...
    If it still fails you should see the actual error dialogs and hopefully
    with some useful information so you can work around the problem... If you
    get it installed then you should be able to restart the tech preview setup
    again...and continue.

    IF you are not successful in getting Mdac 9.0 installed...suggest that you
    have a have the latest mdac8 installed first (I believe if you have wxp and
    newer operating systems with latest SPs...you should be good...

    Now I suggest that you FAKE out the Tech preview setup and make it think
    that MDAC9 is installed. You can do this by modifying the registry at:

    HKLM,SOFTWARE\Microsoft\DataAccess

    and changing your FullInstallVer and Version values to: 9.0.608.0

    Now when you restart the Tech preview setup it will detect that you already
    have the version of mdac installed and should remove that installation
    requirement.

    Hope this helps.
