Installaware deployment of program using MSAccess database

I need to deploy a Delphi program which connects to a Microsoft Access database file. The last time I had to do this I was using Installshield - rather a long time ago. I understand that with Windows 7 and Vista the Jet Engine comes included with the operating system. Is this correct? If so, what does one need to deploy in the Installaware package to get the program and .mdb database to install correctly?
Thanks
Bruce

Dear Bruce,
although I am not an MS Jet Engine expert ( ... in reality I never used it), for what I know its use is actually deprecated and in-fact, is not part of MDAC anymore.
About the argument I may suggest you the following link:

Alternatively, of course you could use an ODBC connection to work with an Access DB with your application and this can be easly implemented using InstallAware.
Hope this helps you.
Regards.
