Hi,
What application are you trying to install and is there an update available for it that makes it Vista compatible. The Vista equivalent of MDAC is WDAC 6.0 which is the functional equivalent to MDAC 2.8 so most MDAC applications will work, but most solutions are specific so I need to know what application you are trying to install.
