[AccessD] Access 2010 Deployment (cross posted)

Rocky,

I think the runtime installer is more robust and would work if you never had
to deal with other versions of Office being on the client machine and the
various security issues with Windows Vista and 7. What Sagekey brings to the
game is having a system that can accommodate whatever the customer has and
play nicely with it. The new Sagekey scripts work with MSI and don't require
Wise as I understand. We are still using the Access 2000 runtime and
scripts.

Dear Lists:
 
I am considering upgrading a commercial product from Access 2003 to Access
2010  (loathe as I am to develop in 2010 - I guess it's time).  
 
Although most of the target market has Office with Access, so I can
distribute an mde, some do not so I have always had a run-time version
available as an option.  I have used the Wise/Sagekey combo for this purpose
for may years.  (IIRC, the market for Sagekey was motivated in no measure by
the poor implementation of run-time deployments in A2000 and A2003.)
 
I have seen references to a run-time deployment in A2010 being much
improved.  If I can avoid purchasing the Sagekey 2010 script and using Wise
I would prefer that - it would make life much simpler. 
 
So I am looking for experiences/comments/feedback/benefits/drawbacks, etc.,
on the effectiveness of the A2010 run-time deployment. 
 
MTIA,
