Hey,

As the message says you need to install MDAC 2.6 or later, MDAC is microsoft set of components for data access. I used to deploy MDAC with my application via the .net framework bootstrapper from microsoft but it looks like they're trying to phase this behaviour out as there are version problems (typical). Now I just add a launch condition in the setup to inform the user that they need to install the latest MDAC from microsoft. (This will normally only be necessary on operating systems pre-2000). At the bottom of the following link it explains how to set up the launch condition.

You can get the latest MDAC here...

Hope this helps.
