Install MDAC on Windows 10

I'm trying to install VB6 on Windows 10, I've successfully installed based on a tutorial site in portuguese [http://www.michaelrigo.com/2015/08/guia-definitivo-instalacao-operacao-vb6.html], and now when I open projects I have the following reference marked

MISSING: Microsoft Remote Data Object 2.0

Note: ADLibVB6 is a dll made for this project.

You can not install MDAC on Windows 10. However, you probably dont need it. Click Start and type "ODBC" and that will bring up Setup ODBC Data Sources. There are 32 and 64 bit versions, you should probably use the 32 bit version.

@Ramhound ODBC wasnt integrated into the OS when MDAC came out – Keltari – 2016-01-22T20:15:29.100

MDAC came out for Win9x. I think XP had it integrated, but required manual updates. – Keltari – 2016-01-22T20:22:40.170

How does this help me with my vb6 projects? – Gabriel Guimarães – 2016-01-22T20:39:14.830

3why are you using 20 year old software? – Keltari – 2016-01-22T20:40:17.307

My boss rejects change, I hate vb6 – Gabriel Guimarães – 2016-01-22T20:44:30.087

1@Keltari Because in the real world very often there is no alternative or commercial justification to change. – Alan B – 2017-02-15T11:07:29.943

Agreed with you, Alan. – Overmind – 2017-04-26T10:44:14.423

Check this guide.

RDO 2.0 can be taken form here .

The file (MSRdo20.cab) is part of a cumulative updater for the vb6 sp6 runtime extended files.
