[AccessD] Standalone Access .exe?

Interesting post entitled 'The dawn of the single .exe stand alone .exe
file for the Access runtime.' on the Access developers forum in LinkedIn
(login needed).  The product Cameyo (www.cameyo.com) is mentioned. It
builds an .exe that runs without installation.  If I understand correctly,
what you would do to use this with Access is the following:

1. Start a clean virtual machine.
2. Install and start Cameyo.
3. Build a full installation of the Access runtime and your FE database.
4. Tell Cameyo that you're finished.

It then builds a standalone .exe for you with the Access runtime and your
database incorporated.  You can copy it at will, run off a thumb drive, etc
etc.  Sounds almost too good to be true.  An Access developer's dream?  It
supposedly works with any installable software, so it would be a pirate's
dream as well, I guess.  I've downloaded it but not tried it yet.
