[AccessD] Access 2007 run time on same machine with 2003

Rocky,

This is an excerpt from the alert that Sagekey sent out. 
---------------------------------
In January 2007 Microsoft released Vista and Access 2007. Both products are
significantly different from Microsoft's previously released versions and
this is going to affect how successful your current Access Runtime
installations are with these products. 

How much Vista will affect your Access Runtime installation will depend upon
the complexity of your application. Access 2007 on the other hand won't
co-exist well with previous runtimes, triggering an MSI repair that can take
up to 5 minutes to complete, followed by a forced reboot. 
------------------------------------

It indicates that there are issues with older runtimes and 2007 so I
wouldn't be surprised if the 2007 runtime didn't interact with older
versions.  I'd do some research on what to expect, or a lot of testing
before installing 2007 on a bunch of customers computers.

Doug

Well, maybe I'll dodge that bullet.  Because the client wants to send an
A2007 run-time and is worried about users who have A2003 installed and
installing the A2007 run-time might hose their 2003 apps.

There are some issues as I recollect.  I know we had to purchase a modified
Access 2002 runtime install script to make our runtime coexist with Access
2007. Take a look at the Sagekey software knowledge base.

Dear List:
 
Does anyone know of any problems running an A2K7 run-time on the same
machine where A2K3 is installed?
