[AccessD] Standalone Access .exe?

I just downloaded it, too, Doug, but my real goal (and not in a pirate
sense, just to save me a bunch of steps) would be to create a VM and
install Cameyo and then install the bits of Office XP that I need, which is
by no means everything, primarily just the full Access. But here comes the
tricky part: what I really mean is Access + Risk Fisher's Find and Replace
+ MZTools + NoteTab (my fave free text editor). I would totally love to do
all that in a single EXE that I could run inside a VM or from a thumb
drive. That would be totally wonderful.
