Are you sure you want 2.0? IIRC that was the version installed by IE5.0, and
did not have an interface compatible with 1.5 (I ended up with loads of
automation errors in apps I'd created in VB compiled against ADO 1.5 when
run a Win9x PC with IE5 just installed). 2.1 and higher do not have this
problem.

According to http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;251080
the only legitimate way to redistribute MDAC 2.0 and later is by using the
mdac_typ.exe installer.
