Where do I place the files like MDAC 2.8 and Crystal Reports 2008 on my
developer machine so that when I am publishing my app it can find them and
copy them to the deploy directory?

You want to install the software using the Prerequisties area of ClickOnce.
If you go into the Publish tab of the Project's Properties, you will see the
Prerequisities button. Then add the software you need installed. for MDAC,
you will need to click on the link called "Check Microsoft Update for more
redistributable components".
