Out of curiosity I downloaded and installed the Microsoft Component Checker which will verify your MDAC version. When I ran the program it gave me this message:

Component Checker is not supported on Windows Vista and later
Windows OS's, since MDAC files are protected on these platforms.

Wasn't sure if you knew this or not.
