I would like to include mdac_type.exe with my installation files and
then coax the P&D wizard to run the file on any target machine a program
is installed on. Is this possible?

Not sure what the problem is. The mdac_type is often included with any
package that needs it, based on the rules in VB6Dep.ini file. Coaxing is not
required.

Be aware of one Gotcha! The P&D will include what ever mdac is in the
...\Wizards\PDWizard\Redist folder. Not the one you have installed on your
build machine. Be sure to copy the mdac version you are using into this
folder before building a package.
