Hi, I want to install service pack 5 for visual studio 6. This requires MDAC 2.5 or greater. But MDAC don't have support for win 7. What can i do in this case ?

I recommend you go to the Visual Studio forums and post your question there: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/category/visualstudioPlease remember to click Mark as Answer on the post that helps you, and to click Unmark as Answer if a marked post does not actually answer your question.

MDAC is already part of Windows 7. Run Visual Studio 6 in a Windows2000/XP VM with VirtualPC."A programmer is just a tool which converts caffeine into code" CLIP- Stellvertreter http://www.winvistaside.de/

Actually it is no longer called MDAC but WDAC (Windows Data Access Components). See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms810810.aspx for a roadmap of data access technologies. WDAC is included as part of the operating system and is not available separately for redistribution. Hope this helps.
