The ODBC Admin version I am using was distributed as part of
Microsoft's Data Access Components (MDAC) v.2.8 SP1 (MDAC_TYP.EXE).
I've also used older MDAC (v.2.5) with Wine.  MDAC also came bundled
with several MS products, such as SQL Server client software.

Use archive.org (Wayback Machine) and the following link. Go to year
2012 for download.  

  http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=5793

I have read that if the MDAC install fails, you should make sure you
are using  the latest winetricks.
