Help with controlling Installations in Access XP Package Wizard.

RWC
Hi!

I'm having some trouble controlling how the XP Packaging Wizard installs my
applications. In 97, there were options to replace older, never or always,
if there was a file conflict. Now with XP, the user is prompted if they
want to keep the file or not. I'd like to bypass this prompt and over write
certain files, and NEVER overwrite others (the data file for instance).
Right now, the user can choose to run the upgrade set up, but not upgrade
the program. I also have to currently keep two separate set up profiles,
one for the data and one for the program, in order to ensure that the user
doesn't accidentally overwrite a data file. Any help would be great, I
haven't been able to find much at the Microsoft web site.

If you reply by email, please remove the caps and underscores from this
post.

Thanks!
RWC

You know, while working on my moonlight corporation's LAMP project at home this weekend, I couldn't help but wonder if people writing similar projects are solving similar problems with having to complete the project by building an installer and building the user/group administration piece of it. The thought came to me that it would be great if LAMP developers, whether they used MySQL or PostgreSQL, could just simply write the project to...

Hi, One of my clients has the following situation. They use Access DB for data update etc. some business functions while they also want to view the Access data quickly and more efficiently in SQL Server 2000. Huge Access db with over 100 user tables, over 60 MB data. The DTS package that comes with SQL Server 2000 seems pretty "messy" in the sense that it assumes that one needs to do one time import only or accurately it does not...

However I expect it would occur for any operation which uses...

Hi, in our terminal server environment only a small group of people shall be allowed to create databases using MS Access 2002. All the other users should be able to read and use the database/application created by the Office Developer Package wizard. I've tested this on one Access-database, and the package installs and works perfectly, when the users click the shortcut to the DB-application (installed by the package wizard). As you...

I have a desperate short term need for a way to install Access 2003 runtime on client computers. I have the proper license to do so but I cannot seem to find the files to do it like we did with the old Access 2000 Runtime. Also, I cannot use the MS Package & Deployment wizard because it won't allow us to install our app into the specific path that it must be in. It only seems to allow preset macros to define the target install path --...

I installed Visual Studio 2005 Professional Ediction in order to create a 2003 Access Deploymnet package so my client could run the Access system I created on all their computers without having Access installed. This seemed to wipe out the choice of selecting the Packaging wizard choiceI had previously. How do you run the packaging wizard to create a deployment package if you have installed 2005 Visual Studio? Thanks. V

When another version of Access (other than Access 2002) was on the system then I simply...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
