Took me a while to track down what is all happening here. You can't update your
distribution to include the SPs. You have to ship those as separate files on the CD
or download sepately.
The runtime updates the runtime on the client workstations to the same level as
Office XP SP2. This does not update the runtime you the developer create on your own
system. These also do not update Jet.

How To: Obtain the Latest Service Pack for the Microsoft Jet 4.0 Database Engine

latest version of Jet. There is a version that is part of a security patch.
As far as MDAC goes I have not worked with it enough to have any practical
experience. Other than to point you to
