Use winetricks to install mdac 2.8.

Thanks. I installed mdac 2.8, but I get same message. Is this something to do with 32-bit versus 64-bit?

I found this site which claims to address the problem for Windows Vista.

For Windows 2000, for which my Wine is configured, I was directed to this MS site on switching between 32 and 64-bit, but I don't understand how to apply the instructions in Wine/Ubuntu.

Wine is a 32 bit application UNLESS you built and installed the 64 bit
version (Fedora is an exception and you can just yum it) and thus should
not suffer from the switch from 32 to 64 bit and back. Also,
Windows2000 (from memory folks) was not available in 64 bit version, either.

Thanks again.
So I guess it's not that...

Maybe this .NET issue is just not workable in Wine...?

FAQ 6.7 says this

"Wine still has many problems with .NET. You're probably out of luck, but if you're brave, you can still try running it."

Use winetricks to install MDAC 2.8 and Jet 4.0. One way to do so is to run these two commands:

winetricks mdac28
winetricks jet40

I know I'm reviving an old thread. I had the same problem today and so decided to reply. What software were you trying to install?

I was also struggling with this issue. Thanks for your help.
Editing the project file has solved the issue.
