Get MDAC Version and Check ODBC Drivers
This script allows for checking whether MDAC is installed and which version number it is. It also allows for checking whether certain ODBC drivers are installed, including Jet, SQL Server, Oracle, FoxPro and others. This function replaces GetMDACVersion() that has been here before. The new version works by checking the key MDAC file version so it is more reliable then registry lookup, which will no longer work with Office2000 and Windows2000.
To install MDAC as quietly as possible without reboot, use the following command line.
For MDAC versions up to 2.1 (works still with 2.5):
mdac_typ.exe /q:a /c:\"setup.exe /qn1\"
For MDAC version 2.5 and above:
mdac_typ.exe /q:a /c:\"dasetup.exe /q /n\"
