Deploying Program Using VB Install. MDAC & Jet (Problems!!!!)

[kennedymr2]

The program i have written needs both MDAC and JetBase
mdac_typ.exe and Jet40SP6_9xNT.exe
==============
The program is distributed to Win95,Win98, Win2000, Xt.
==============

What is the best way of handling the deployment of the program.
Should i have a different version of the distribution for each of the above.
Does Win2000,Xt allready have any of the above features, ??? do i need to install mdac & jet in these?
==============
I am not in a financial position to buy InstallaShield, therefore have to use VB distribution package.
==============
Appreciate any assistance from anyone with the same problem as i have.
