    I don't think you can depend on JET being installed anywhere, but in some
    cases the MDAC stack is installed.
    Sometimes MDAC is installed with JET, but not lately. In any case, when you
    use MDAC (ADO classic) and JET, you must assume that JET is not installed.
    Even if it is, it might be an older version that's incompatible with your
    application. Of course, when you install JET, there's no guarantee that
    existing applications will continue to work.
