Windows Forum / Windows XP / General Topics 1 / May 2008Does Windows Include the Jet Components?
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? -TC >I'm looking for a straight answer to this question: Does Windows >include the Jet components? [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] >239114).

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?

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. -TC >> >I'm looking for a straight answer to this question: Does Windows >> >include the Jet components?

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. >When the article says "We recommend that you >install the latest service pack for Windows XP", I don't know if it [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > >-TC > >> >I'm looking for a straight answer to this question: Does Windows > >> >include the Jet components?

Would I be correct to infer that you believe <<Yes -- Windows includes the Jet components>>? -TC >> >> >I'm looking for a straight answer to this question: Does Windows >> >> >include the Jet components? [quoted text clipped - 49 lines] >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. 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. >>> >> >I'm looking for a straight answer to this question: Does Windows >>> >> >include the Jet components?

Windows includes the Jet components. > >I applaud your patience with Nonny, His patience with ME?? The dork can't read plain English and comprehend its meaning. When someone plainly says they don't understand, what part of that don't you understand??? comprehension is different to each individual. > >TC, > > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > The dork can't read plain English and comprehend its meaning. >>TC, >> [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > The dork can't read plain English and comprehend its meaning. > HOLY CRAP!! How freaking direct can I be!?? By answering his question, idiot. English must be your fourth language, at best. If you should ever break down and answer him, I won't see it. People like you are the ones who give the Web a bad name. Allen |
