Microsoft Data Access Components

[Tom Hibbert]

Hi All,

I've been given the thankless task of getting a legacy application running under Linux. It requires the Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) to run, but I cant get them to install (either 2.6 or 2.8). Does anyone have a howto or can give me the skinny on what sacrifices I need to make to get this installed? I'm running Gentoo Wine 20040716.

Thanks in advance
 
Tom

First I would update to the latest release of Wine.  That usually
fixes a lot of problems, though it might not allow you to install
MDAC.
