    Sorry, I misread your question.
    Basically you would install Jet in the same way as MDAC: use a bootstrapper
    exe that will launch the Jet setup before launching your msi. While you
    could launch the Jet setup from your MSI as a custom action, I would prefer
    the bootstrapper solution.

    >From http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;828396 :
    Frequently asked questions about MDAC 2.8
    My application must have Microsoft Jet, but Jet is no longer included in
    MDAC. Where can I find Jet?
    The Microsoft Jet components were removed from MDAC 2.6 and are not included
    with MDAC 2.8.
