VB6 example program

Hello

I've been battling with this for four days now and found no solution, yet it
worked a year ago.

Opening an ADODB.Connection in wine fails with this message:
Method '~' of object '~' failed

Yet it works fine in Windows (XP).

In essence, the program does only this:
    Dim cn As ADODB.Connection
    Set cn = New ADODB.Connection
    cnStr = "DRIVER={MySQL ODBC 5.3 UNICODE Driver};" _
        & "SERVER=localhost;" _
        & "DATABASE=db;" _
        & "UID=user;" _
        & "PWD=password;" _
        & "PORT=3306;" _
        & "POOLING=false;" _
        & "OPTION=3;"
    cn.ConnectionString = cnStr
    Call cn.Open ' <--- fail

Quick steps to reproduce:
1. Download:
-
https://downloads.mysql.com/archives/get/file/mysql-connector-odbc-5.3.6-win...
- Attached sample VB6 program I compiled.

2. Run:
WINEARCH="win32" WINEPREFIX="$HOME/wine-ado" ./winetricks vb6run mdac28
WINEARCH="win32" WINEPREFIX="$HOME/wine-ado" wine msiexec /i
mysql-connector-odbc-5.3.6-win32.msi
WINEARCH="win32" WINEPREFIX="$HOME/wine-mca" wine adotest_early_53.exe

It will show a messagebox with the ODBC connection string and the error
description. I tried downloading the full binary I used in wine a year ago and
it too fails. This attached program is just the bare-bones needed to show the
problem, to remove all unknowns.

I tried wine-2.9, wine-3.0 and wine-3.18 staging, all failed. Tried with
POOLING=true, POOLING=false, and without the POOLING key at all. I tried all
the internet advice I could find to no avail.

Strangely enough, when I set the ODBC connection driver to something bogus,
like "carrots", it fails with the exact same reason. As if it doesn't see the
MySQL ODBC connector at all.
