Not sure why but i managed to correct the problem after completely clearing
everything related to wine including its source off the computer and rebuilt it
and now everything seems to be functioning correctly again.

--- Comment #2 from Ben Shefte  ---
Please ignore my first comment, this issue with install MDAC28 isnt just
happening on wine 6.22;  it happens randomly with builds I have tested (v6 and
up).

Occasionally  I will remove my WOW64 prefix because I need a fresh wine
enviroment.  After wine sets up the new enviroment (as WOW64) I try to install
MDAC 2.8 using winetricks (using windows XP version).

Sometimes MDAC will install fine like there was no issues with the WOW64
enviroment.  But more often than not, the installer complains that it cannot
install on my system and refuses to install.

I have tried installing MDAC before all the c++ and .net runtimes and tried
installing after all the runtimes, its the same result.

Right now I have a working WOW64 prefix with MDAC 2.8 installed, but when I try
to run the installer using this prefix, it says it cannot install on this
system.

I am at a loss because it happens randomly.

Is it supposed to work on WOW64?

Winetricks seems to output: warning: This package (mdac28) does not work on a
64-bit installation. You must use a prefix made with WINEARCH=win32.

Maybe provide some logs or something?

I know winetricks has that warning about WIN64, but does that warning take into
consideration, WOW64?

As I said before, despite that warning; sometimes mdac will install with no
issue on a WOW64 system.

Obviously the easy way around this issue is creating a WIN32 prefix. Problem
with that is that  I don't want to have multiple wine directories, and i do use
some 64bit apps..

I am more interested to know if anyone else has had this problem, I know mdac
2.8 can be installed on 64bit windows 7.
