[Robert Antoni Buj i Gelonch]

OK, try it again setting the following environment variables:

LIB=c:\Program Files\Microsoft Data Access SDK
2.8\Libs\x86\lib;C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL
Server\100\Tools\SDK\Lib;
INCLUDE=c:\Program Files\Microsoft Data Access SDK 2.8\inc;C:\Program
Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Tools\SDK\Include;
