Does Windows Include the Jet Components?

[Guest TC]

I'm looking for a straight answer to this question: Does Windows

include the Jet components?

 

I've found it very difficult to get an answer. On one hand, Windows

includes MDAC, but MDAC no longer includes Jet (http://

support.microsoft.com/kb/271908). On the other hand, I've been told

that, despite the change to MDAC, anyone with an up-to-date version of

Windows should automatically have Jet (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/

239114). The wording of the Microsoft articles is poor, so I just

don't know.

 

Can anyone give me a definitive yes or no? For Windows XP, at least?

The wording of KB239114 is quite clear. I'm guessing that you rushed

through it and didn't take the time to comprehend what you were

skimming.

>Can anyone give me a definitive yes or no? For Windows XP, at least?

 

It CLEARLY explains the XP situation. Go back and try again.

Nonny,

 

Thank you for the reply.

 

When the article says "you have a later version of Jet 4.0", I don't

understand whether it means "Jet 4.0 is already installed on your

computer", or whether it means "you have the setup package for Jet 4.0

on your product CD". When the article says "We recommend that you

install the latest service pack for Windows XP", I don't know if it

means "you can install Jet by installing the service pack", or whether

it means "before installing Jet, you should bring your OS up-to-date".

 

I did not rush through the article. I read it slowly, but did not

understand it. If someone helps with a simple yes or no answer to my

question, it will resolve a lot of uncertainty for me.

Is English your primary language?

 

It means that you have the latest available version for your operating

system. Simple.

 

In case that isn't enough: version 4 is older than the one you

currently have installed.

Nonny,

 

Once again, thank you for the reply. I'm not sure why, but I perceive

you are trying to avoid giving me a direct answer. Would I be correct

to infer that you believe <<Yes -- Windows includes the Jet

components>>?

HOLY CRAP!! How freaking direct can I be!??

 

Let me try again.

 

FREAKING FORGET about downloading 4.0.

 

Your XP has everything it needs right now.

Re: Does Windows Include the Jet Components?

 

TC,

 

The answer to your question is YES. Windows includes the Jet components.

 

I applaud your patience with Nonny, but you should ignore jerks like him --

He's obviously more interested in flaming you than in providing an answer.

When someone plainly says they don't understand, what part of that don't you

understand???

comprehension is different to each individual.
