Yes, you need MDAC 2.5 if the Jet driver/provider isn't already installed.
You don't have to compile your with a different MDAC, all you have to make
sure is that the provider is installed on the target machine. If that is
MDAC 2.5, then you run that on the target machine before installing your
application.
