OWC in Windows 98 connect to Analysis Services 2005

Is there a posibility to make OWC installed in Windows 98 connect to Analysis Services 2005?

The thing is we cannot install the OLE DB Provider 9.0 for Analysis Services 2005, because it needs Windows Installer 3.1, and we really need to connect OWC to 2005, because we could do it with Analysis Services 2000.

How can we do?

Thanks in advance.

If you want to use OWC, you must have the OLEDB provider 9.0 for Analysis Services. OWC executes on the client and uses OLEDB to talk to the SSAS server.

Unfortunately the only options I can think of if you cannot get the OLEDB provider installed is to either upgrade the client or to look at using something other than OWC. Some of the commercial "thin client" solutions would probably work. Mosha has a list on his site at www.mosha.com/msolap .
