Setup and Deployment and Microsoft Jet OLE DB Provider

[Saber]

In VS 2005 I made a setup project for my application.
The application uses a mdb file and needs Microsoft Jet OLE DB Provider to
run on another PCs.
In Prerequisites section of Setup Property Pages there are some checkboxes
including
Microsoft Data Access Component 2.8.
But in microsoft site they say:
This release does not include Microsoft Jet, the Microsoft Jet OLE DB
Provider or ODBC driver, the Desktop Database ODBC Drivers, or the Visual
FoxPro ODBC Driver.

What I've to do with this mdb and setup project?!

Thanks

Thanks Ken,
Would you please explain more?
In this url there is a link to MDAC download page.
But it says:
This release does not include Microsoft Jet, the Microsoft Jet OLE DB
Provider...

And in a VS Setup and Deployment project there is just a MDAC 2.8 checkbox
to
check before installation.

Database stuff alwas fuddles me!!

Hi,

Jet and mdac will be sent out through windows update from now
on.

But many of users who want to run my application are not connected to
internet,
and their windows are not updated.
I'm looking for a way to check if there is Jet ,MDAC and dotnetframework
installed on user's computer,
and if not, they automatily will be installed by the cdrom that my
application is in it.
