OLE DB Provider for ODBC/Win XP

I have SQL Server Developer Edition which runs on Windows XP and it has been
running fine thus far. I am now trying to run Analysis Services on it and it
needs OLE DB Provider for ODBC. I downloaded MDAC 2.8 and installed it on my
Windows XP platform. The installation went without a hitch but when I go to
Data Sources (ODBC), I cannot see OLE DB Provider for ODBC listed. Does OLE
DB Provider for ODBC only run on Windows 2000 or Windows NT?
Thanks,
AlistairOops, that should be OLE DB Provider for OLAP.

sources and drivers. You are referring to an OLE DB provider.
OLE DB has a similar data sources interface. Try creating a empty text
file, and save it with a .udl file extension. Then double-click that file
and you should get the OLE DB interface.
