I'm using VB6, with MS JET 4.0 in my code.

What files must I include in my setup.exe to cover all types of users? w/access 2000 w/access 97/ no access, etc.

The set-up wizard will include the needed files automatically, depeding on what is referenced in your project, as well as any dependencies listed by those referenced dlls/ocxs if a *.Dep file is also present.

When using JET, MS ACCESS does not need to be on the client machine. Only if you have the MS ACCESS Object library referenced in your project.

You also need to make sure that MDAC 2.5+ is included in the package (just add it to the Redist folder under the PDWizard folder in your VB directory), or add it manually.
Also include a copy of the MDAC on your installation CD.

If you are including MDAC 2.6 or higher, you will want to also include the JET 4 service pack on your installation CD.
