[AccessD] Publishing Application

Is that a variation of "will it play in Peoria?"

I have seen Access RT's from 2.0 forward on OS's from 95 on in all its
variations, and it is damn-near flawless when there is no previous
Office installation.  *However* - if there is another Access version on
the PC, or might be in the future, use a  3rd party install tool.

Hi Reuben,
But the big question is - does it work in Illinois?

;o)

In my experience, the Access Runtime is installed in a folder with
RT(run
time) in the path.  This differentiates it from a standard Access
install.

I have never had any installation problems using Access Runtime and the
Package and Deployment wizard.  But, then again, I only have about 300
installs around the state of Indiana; maybe I haven't tried it enough
yet.

Okay....thanks.  I was hoping there was something a little less
expensive. :(  I really don't intend to do this too often.....but we'll
see how that goes.

Thanks,

Keith,
This is where the Wise Install Builder & SageKey Scripts come into play.
Basically; Wise is a full-blown installation development program.
SageKey is a company that writes scripts for the Wise or Install Shield
products to provide foolproof Access Runtime Installations - which also
don't allow your application to get screwed up by having the wrong
version of Access already (or later) installed on the end user PC.

This is a costly venture to be sure, but it is well worth it when it
comes to having a professional looking installation that actually works
on every PC regardless of what the end user has installed. And it cuts
down tremendously on the support issues. I've used this combo for 5
years now and can honestly say I have had little if any problem with
installations or version conflict. So, in essence, if you're in it for
the long run it pays for itself.

John

Okay....let me ask this....What happens if the user Does have access,
but a different version.  Will the Access Runtime (for 2002) interfere
with their version of Access?

Create an Access Runtime installation.
