A setup program which worked under Windows XP is giving me this error under Windows 7 (64 bit): 'This program requires MDAC 2.5 or greater to install. MDAC 2.6 is required for SQL 2000 compatibility. Please re-run setup when a newer version of MDAC has been installed.'

Nov 28, 2008 Hello. I've written a program in VB6, and installed it successfuly on one PC. When I try to install it on another PC, the setup program gives me the message. I Installed an application called felxterm on my XP pro and to support the application i have to install the MDAC 2.8 (Microsoft Data Access Components ) and when i tries to install the same it is giving me this Error ' MDAC 2.8 RTM is incompatible with this version of Windows' i've checked with both sp2 and.

Amazon App Store For Zeki. I understand that a Windows 7 includes the newest MDAC, and so I should not install it separately. So then, how do I get past the above error? FYI, the program is Service Pack 5 for MS Visual Studio 6.0. Please don't tell me it's obsolete: I know that already. All that I want to do is keep working with what I had before my Windows XP machine died and was replaced with a new Windows 7 system.
