MDAC is now deprecated.

It has been replaced in Vista with WDAC:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms692897.aspx

I certainly wouldn't attempt to install *any* version of MDAC on Vista...

Presumably the program you're trying to install has not been updated for
Vista - if it's specifically looking for MDAC, it won't find it...

MDAC comes pre-intalled on Vista. Maybe you could indicate what is causing the error?
