[AccessD] Run ACC03 Demo from CD?

I don't think you can do this, but I haven't worked with the runtime in
2003, only in those up through 2002.  Runtimes are installed to the
directory you specify and they don't get put in the same location as the
access executable.  You have to specify the full path to the runtime
msaccess.exe when you open the database, so you could try pointing at
the CD, but the install sets up connections in the registry that
wouldn't be there under those circumstances.

Subject: [AccessD] Run ACC03 Demo from CD?

Does anyone know of a way to put the Access 2003 Runtime on a CD so that
a demo of an Access 2003 application can be put on the CD and run from
the CD without installing anything on the user's computer?

The Package Wizard only seems to be able to install the Runtime to the
C:\ drive.

And then what happens if the user already has a version of Access on
their computer or even Access 2003?

Thank you,

Penn
