Is there a stand alone installer for Access 2003 Runtime?

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 -- none of which will work for our app.

The short term solution is simply to install Access 2003 Runtime with
a separate install package.

Ultimately, we'll do it with a Wise install package. But that's a
whole Usenet group in itself and a lot of work for our app. We're
developing that now but we have beta testers who need Access 2003 NOW
and we don't want to force them to buy it.

Any advice?

Thanks folks.

Thanks Alexey! I'll check it out.
In the mean time, I need a quick, "down and dirty" install builder that I can use to
whip together an installer for JUST Access 2003 Runtime. Perhaps this
is the one.


If you need a help of creating a setup script for the Access 2003
Runtime installer feel free to contact me.

I'm working with VS.NET 2003 and .NET 1.1 (not SP1) on Windows XP SP1. My application is using the Windows Installer Bootstrap.

Hi, We are moving to using mysql as our db and we have some reports already written in Access. Is there a way to create a stand alone EXE that will run the report from Access and then use a DSN and have our DSN point to the mysql db instead of using Access's db? We don't want to have to install Access on everyone's machine in order to run the report. Thanks,

I have an access database that I would like to sell and have it be a stand alone product. I am unsure what the best way to lock someone out of the tables and queries, and make it able to run if someone does not already have access on their computer. Thank you in advance for any information. Best regards, Brenda *** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***

Hi All We have upgraded from Access2000 to Access2003 with all service packs. The problem that we have is: When a user try's to filter a client the database crashes and close's Access2003, this is happening on a regular basis. We never had this problem in Access2000. Would it be something to do with code?

My old HD crashes, so I had to do a total re-install. After installer XP, I went to the Micrsoft Update site to get all the update. After 5 hours or so ... the update cycle started looping. You see, it wanted to install the Dot Net Framework for me, so okay, I let the Update site do the download the installation.

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,...
