Let's see where to start.
First, we have an HR software (Knowledgepoint's PIW) that connects to a DB on one of our servers. This is pretty irrelevant to the issue though, I believe.
Basically, it needs the MDAC components to connect to the DB, but everytime I try to install, it acts like it does, but never shows up in Add/Remove. I first tried 2.8 and it didn't even allow me to. So, I tried the older versions even back to 2.5. On those installs, it would say it has been installed, but still nothing shows in Add/Remove and the software still can't connect ot the DB. At this point it seems all that is left is a wipe/reinstall, but before I move to that I'd like to hear some opinions.
