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.

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.
