How to fix Error when opening MDE (which includes Access97 runtime) in Office 2007?

Error when opening MDE (which includes Access97 runtime) in Office 2007

Hello.
I build an application for a client in Access97 and gave them the MDE version which includes the Access97-runtime (because they have an Office (2007) version without Access).
When they try to open the MDE-file, the get the error:

"You can not convert or activate a MDE file" (my translation of the original error, in Dutch:
"U kunt een MDE bestand niet converteren of activeren.")

When I tried to install it on a PC with Office-2010 Starter Ed. (which is without Access), it worked fine.
Could anyone explain me what is the reason for the error, and how to solve it? By the way: I can not convert the application from Access97 to a newer version (like Acces2007),beca use I only have the Access97-runtime, and because the client doesn't have Access, I have to include it in my installer-file.

Before making the runtime file, have you ensured that all your code compiles? I remember once when trying to make a runtime version for someone using 2007 (myself using 2003) that even though the code was in a module I had abandoned (but not removed) it would not run in 2007, until I had compiled (and removed errors) from the unused module.

No Access was installed but was Access runtime installed? You will need to install Access runtime at the least to open the database files.

Why does if(win==null || win.closed) return true after one PDF is open. Something very wierd going on with IE 6. I also get a member not found error if a child window is already open. This script works fine if the child window contains HTML, just not a PDF. Ideas?

I get the following error when I open my database file "There isn't enough memory to preform this operation. Close unneeded programs and try the operation again" The DB is a relatively small file 31MB. Once I hit OK on the button the DB opens but some operations do not work. This is not a computer problem as I tried it on several computers, also a backup file of about a week earlier works fine. any suggestions?
