Is there a way to programatically determine

1. If OLE DB is installed
2. What version of MSJET is available for Access databases

on a customer machine - I need to have an automated setup wizard of some
kind so that I can dynamically create ADO connection strings.

It seems to me I saw a tidbit on this newsgroup recently that described how
to invoke the connection string builder at runtime - I think this should be
fine - but I can't seem to find it.  (Using BCB5)

TIA

Mike

You may examine HKLM\Software\Microsoft\DataAccess key to find out if MDAC
is installed on the machine

Suppose you have to look for HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Jet key and its subkeys

It seems to me that I saw additional info on that in MSDN or PSDK

HTH,
