This section describes installation requirements for Windows platforms.

Important: You must have Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) installed. For the 32-bit driver, you must have version 2.6 or higher. Depending on the version of your Windows operating system, these components may already be installed. You can download a utility that determines whether MDAC is installed and its version from the following Microsoft site: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/aa937730(v=msdn.10). You can also download MDAC from the same site.
