Hello,

this is by design.
The MDAC 2.x redist installers check the OS version and refuse to install
anything or claim success (and don't install anything too) when certain
conditions are met.

See: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms810805.aspx

You can't use Wine's default "Windows XP" when running MDAC installers.
Either use 'winetricks mdacXX' which contains the necessary workarounds to
satify installer requirements or set winver to nt40/win2k using
winetricks/wincfg.

Regards
