FE Update 2003 Package Wizard - uninstall required?

1 New Member
I'm new to this forum, and I suspect this has been answered before, but I can't find the information.

I have an Access DB that I've developed, split FE / BE, and installed on several customer workstations via downloads from my website. The initial install also installed the 2003 runtime libraries. (Win XP, 2003 Access Developer Extensions)

My problem is that now I need to update some of the BE tables and programs in the FE. I've modified the FE to include SQL to make the appropriate table changes in the BE. When I create a new installation package and try to install it, I get a message that says something along the lines of 'Another version of this program has already been installed, please uninstall it before installing this version." Is there any way to get the FE updates to just install over the existing FE? This seems like it should be an easy issue to resolve, but it's been a real pain thus far.

Thanks much!

I have an Access application that is being used by 150+ clients. I develop in 97, convert to 2000 and distribute as a 97 or 2000 mde, or 97 runtime. This limits me to 97 functions. My clients may use any one of Access 97, 2000, 2002, 2003 or 97 runtime. So that I'm not lingering too far behind, I'm thinking of developing in 2003, using 2000 file format and distributing a 2000 mde for users of Access 2000+. (I understand I'll need to use...

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

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,...
