It is msi based. I downloaded orca and have been fiddling with making small changes. MDAC Install Issues – Excellent Overview. If you want MDAC 2.82, you have to install Windows 2003 SP1. 1 Other Issues 1.1 Terminal Services Issues. Microsoft Data Access Components. This redistributable installer for the MDAC 2.8 release installs the same Data Access components as Microsoft Windows Server 2003. Hi, I am new to the community and would like to ask a question about Microsoft Data Access Components. I am currently working on some software that requires a dll that's present as part of ADO package of MDAC (specifically msjro.dll). My question is whether or not it is safe to assume that the MDAC components will be installed on all Windows. There is no LaunchCondition for mdac that I can remove, and have been having no luck with the other changes I've tried. From what I can tell it has a built in step to install mdac, but i'm not overly familiar with making those kinds of changes, so have been going slow. I'll be putting in a call to the developer at some point, but I don't expect much feedback since win10 is not officially supported as of yet.(sheesh, just 'cause it's still beta. I mean really.;-) ).

I'm in the same boat. Trying to install PagePlus X2 which requires MDAC 2.5 SP3. Got that same error message. Tried the suggestion to edit out the LaunchCondition for MDAC in the msi file, and also found there wasn't one. So then I started searching for MDAC 2.5 in the msi file using find in orca. Found one (I think) instance and deleted it. But the install would still not work. So I reviewed the install error log and found some instances of MDAC25 (as opposed to MDAC 2.5). So I went back into orca and searched for MDAC25 and deleted every single instance (I know ham fisted but I wanted to see if it would work, not all references may need to be removed but I wanted to start with none and just see what results I got). I saved the revised msi file and put it into a folder on my hard drive, along with the cab files and some other files from the PagePlus X2 cd. Ran the install and found I had to copy some additional files from the cd, but then the installation worked.
