Microsoft Data Access Components 2.1

Post by bbrazie »

Wine 1.0.1 in Ubuntu 9.04.

After installing an application and trying to start it I get the following error:

Error creating object. Please verify that the Microsoft Data Access Components 2.1 (or later) have been properly installed.

Is this something that is installed in v1.0.1? Or will this application just not work?

Any advice?

Thanks in advance. Bob.

This version is very old - upgrade. Latest version is wine-1.1.28.

Install MDAC with winetricks - http://wiki.winehq.org/winetricks

This is what the download site says about an upgrade in Ubuntu:

The packages here are beta packages. This means they will periodically suffer from regressions, and as a result an update may break functionality in Wine. If the latest stable release of Wine (currently Wine 1.0.1) works for you, then you may not want to use these beta packages.

If I do install the newer version will this solve my problem?


Thanks, Bob.

The only way to find out is to try it.

And here is more accurate information on the difference between the stable and development branches: http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#head-0bae04b ... acb6f367ff

If the Microsoft Data Access Components 2.1 (or later) is included it should.

Do you know if it is included in the newest Wine release?

Thanks, Bob.

No. You will have to use winetricks to install MDAC. I highly recommend installing version 2.8 (mdac28) if you can.

I have been looking at the web site and see the different packages I can install.

I am not to sure what the exact line I should type in order to install the package after I install winetricks.

Can you help?

sh winetricks mdac28

If you get a further complaint about the Jet engine, which supports Access type databases, use:

sh winetricks jet40

Would I need to remove the version of Wine I have in order to install the newer version?

Or just try wintricks with the version of Wine I already have installed.

Thanks in advance. Bob.

Still not working I was wonder if this makes any sense to someone. I understand if this should just be dropped.
