MDAC 2.8 Service Pack 1 (SP1)
Release date: August 2004
How to obtain the service pack
To install MDAC 2.8 SP1, you must install Windows XP Service Pack 2
(SP2). For additional information about how to obtain Windows XP SP2,
click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft
Knowledge Base:

I think this is saying that I can't reinstall MDAC 2.8 SP1 without
reinstalling XP SP2, but that doesn't seem to be possible either.

MDAC 2.8 was installed when I installed Windows XP SP2.
MDAC stopped working.
Can anyone tell me how to reinstall MDAC 2.8 SP1 for Windows XP SP2?

Thanks,
John
