If you use ADO, then typically you need *nothing* to install. BCB needs
ADO 2.5 and XP already has ADO 2.8.

Even Win98 SE has the ADO already installed.

Sometimes, on 2% of PC's, ADO is somehow damaged! Then you can
suggest customers to download MDAC2.8 (mdac_typ) from M$ site,
and apply it.

Unfortunately, the mdac_typ.exe does not work with XP/SP2.

You may use ODBC, but you do not need to. Accessing DB's directly
are more native to ADO.
