Same problem - same set-up.

Fix would be appreciated as there appears to be no practicable manual install 
for MDAC28, and I need to get legacy MS Access databases up & running.

This works for me.  Current winetricks downloads from
http://download.microsoft.com/download/4/a/a/4aafff19-9d21-4d35-ae81-02c48dcbbbf
f/MDAC_TYP.EXE 
which exists.

Be sure you're using current winetricks; 20111115 should do,
which you can get from http://winetricks.org/winetricks or svn.
