For example on a Windows 98 system with MDAC 2.6 or higher already installed, there may or may not be Jet 4.0 installed. How can I determine which version of Jet is installed?
Thanks a lot in advance!

We distribute an application that uses MDAC 2.5. The MDAC 2.5 redistribution does contain the MS Jet files, but MDAC 2.6 and higher don't.

Yeah, IMHO that was yet another bonehead move by Microsoft.
In any case, I did a little searching on the 'Net, but couldn't find anything to identify Jet 4.0.
However, I know for starters you can make sure msjet40.dll exists in the SYSTEM32 directory. Plus, since Windows 2000 already ships with this edition of Jet, I can also assure you that it also should have a file version of 4.0.4431.3.
Hope it helps.

Thank you!
Yes, I think I'll have to look for this dll and maybe one or two others.
It's basically the same for the MDAC version; you have to retrieve the version of msado15.dll. That's described in an article on this site.
