Hello,

there was a time when MS JET was part of MDAC install which brought in all
needed dependencies (e.g. Jet Sort Library).
See: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms810823.aspx

To install/deploy MS Jet 4.0 SPx, MDAC 2.x component _is_ an install
requirement (mswstr10.dll is contained within jetfiles.cab).
The installer checks this.

What basically happens is that MS JET40 SP6 gets installed and the required
MDAC 2.7 prerequisite not.

The reason is visible in posted trace log snippet: to determine MDAC install
state, the installer uses VBscript snippet.
Because of non-functional VBScript runtime, the script fails and later leads to
MDAC component not being installed.

When using 'winetricks -q wsh57' the required MDAC install property is set.
Now guess ... the MDAC 2.7 installer claims success but doesn't install
anything ;-)

See: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms810805.aspx (MDAC 2.7 is part of
Windows XP install).

Winetricks has winver=win2k prerequisite for MDAC installers.

--- snip ---
$ bash winetricks wsh57 win2k
--- snip ---

That still doesn't fix the installer...
Looking further, MDAC 2.7 installer doesn't process install the required
jetfiles.inf/jetfiles.cab (contains mswstr10.dll).

"dasetup.ini" reveals:

--- snip ---
...
[JET_FILES]
Name=Jet Expression Service and String Sorting Libraries
ComponentName=JETES
Catalog=
Dependencies=
InstallType=inf
CabFile=JETFILES.cab
InfFile=JETFILES.inf
InstallSection=DefaultInstall
InstallSection.NT=DefaultInstall.NT
ExtractCab=0
UseRollback=1
RebootAfter=0
ValidOs=7
--- snip ---

At the end of this file comes the solution:

--- snip ---
; ValidOS values
;  these can be OR'd together..
; Win95 = 1
; Win98 = 2
; NT4 = 4
; W2K = 8
; Millennium = 16
; Whistler = 32
; All = 4294967295 (0xFFFFFFFF
--- snip ---

So MDAC 2.7 needs to be installed with < Windows 2000 to have missing JET
support files included!

--- snip ---
$ bash winetricks wsh57 nt40
--- snip ---

makes the installer finally work ;-)

I think winetricks needs to be fixed too for old MDAC 2.7 installers (using
"nt40" and not "win2k")
