After installing Visual Studio 6 with spk6 to a Win XP desktop, I cannot
create a data connection with an OLEDB provider. The ODBC 'Select Data
Source' interface pops up instead of the OLDB 'Data Link Properties' dialog
box. Both ODBC and OLEDB providers were selected in the Visual Studio 6
install. I received the same results in Visual Studio 6 when installed on a
Windows 2003 server. Other tools like Analysis Manager can find the OLEDB
providers in the Win 2003 server.

ODBC and OLEDB have to do with MDAC. You may try downloading the latest
version of MDAC from http://msdn.com/data and see if that corrects the
issue.
