Greetings all: I am running w2k sp4. The buildOS.msi will not install, it generates an error message stating MDAC 2.7 is needed. Found it on MS, however it pauses halfway thru the install and rolls back to the original, effectively cancelling the install. Have tried the fixes here:

I have MDAC 2.8, its 5724 kB. The fix in the kb references modifying the Windows Installer package (.msi) file by using the Orca database editor. Add a custom action, and then run the custom action from your Windows Installer package. This workaround prevents the call to the Secedit.exe file. Additionally, modify the Windows Installer package so that the package will modify the permissions for the BidInterface subkey in the registry.
This is a real PITA. Im going to fire up my XP laptop. If I get more time, I'll post the results of modding the MDAC_typ for w2k. But as Guru stated, probably not worth it.
