How to detect .Net framework installed or not?
You need the MS .Net framework to run this application. The .Net framework is a foundation that a wide variety of applications can build on without repeating basic information, and vertical apps can be very small in size. The .Net should not hurt your PC in any way. Here is how to check if you have .Net, and what version:
Go to "Control Panel" of your PC. Then select "Add or Remove Programs" and see if it is listed there. If it is - you have it, if it is not - you need to install it.
If there is one of the following records presented in the Programs list: Microsoft .NET Framework v1.0.3705 Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0
you do not need to install .NET Framework. Also if you have latest versions of .NET listed (3.5 or 4.0) you do not need to install. Otherwise you need to download and install .Net Framework.
2. Install Data Access Components
After downloading and installing the Dotnetfx.exe, which contains .NET Framework redistributable package,

To check if you have it installed or what version you have please download MDAC_TYP.EXE and run it. It will provide you with the information about what version of MDAC is currently installed on your PC if any present. Also you may refer to MS website to find out how to check for MDAC version
