I would never think about just releasing it w/o testing it. The client has a test system that we can use. I talked to the client yesterday and we determined that the office has office XP on their systems. So I suggested to them that there have been problems loading the runtime onto systems with the full different version of Office (per Charlotte). So I think that I have nixed that idea for them. Basically, the whole gist of what I was trying to do was to load the runtime on a system without loading any programs other than the runtime. When I ran the setup wizard with an empty database as the program to install, it only created 1MB of files. I figured that the runtime would be much larger than that. Anyway, I do not have to worry about it now. But thanks to all that replied.
