[AccessD] Package Wizard and Access Runtime

Hi Mike,

This does look nice - but from what I can see it doesn't do Access Runtimes.
Installing the Access runtimes successfully involves knowing what registry
entries need to be modified under all the circumstances you might expect to
see.  Sagekey does do this but they charge $500 Wise / $700 Installshield.

My single customer who doesn't have Access 2003 does have Access 2000, and I
can remote in to their server.  So, I'm going to spend a couple of days
making slight modifications to suit their environment.

Thanks!
Dan
