Solution:
We've seen this once, and the user was using Windows 7, and it appeared that the operating system was missing components.
We downloaded and installed MDAC 2.8 onto the computer from Microsoft.
Then upon advice given in a Microsoft KB article, we went to the folder we had downloaded the AILPlugin download into, right-clicked the file, chose "Properties," chose the "Compatibility" tab, and checked the top option to install this file in compatibility mode and tried some of them - the one that worked was "Vista (Service Pack 2)." Then we clicked "Apply," OK, and double-clicked the AILPlugin exe and installed it. This resolved the problem, though we do not know the details as to why or if it will work for anyone else.
