I wish that there was an A3K
maybe they'll have the bugs worked out by then!

Tony,an
You had the answer.
The installer recognizes the presence of A3K Retail and (although it seems
to cause a whole lot of activity on the screen with programs being
installed, registry entries being made and a progress bar that indicates
something is going on) it seems to "accomplish" almost nothing.
It also gives no options regarding this situation. It doesn't even give
option regarding the folder to receive the result.The
It could also have something to do with the datestamp on msaccess.exe.
Runtime exe is dated 08/15/2003 but the Retail exe is dated later (it wasre-arrange
updated when SR-1 was applied).
So I now find I may not be able to have A3K Retail and A3K Runtime on the
same computer (strictly for testing the deploys) --- I'll have to
my thinking of how to test the deploys (I'm not talking about testing thecomputer
application --- just the deploys). I want to be able use the same
to test the application!a
Just for "fun" --- I'm going to install A3K Retail on that same computer
(A3K Runtime is installed on it), and see if I can direct the Retail
installer to a different folder. That may be the way to have both on the
same computer!
I'll report back the findings in this thread (probably tomorrow --- I have
new version of an application to deploy today so it's a busy time here).2003
By the way, I've already given up on the PDW to do my deploys. I use Inno
Setup, include "msaccess.cab" and "msaccess.msi" in its package, and in my
final phase cause it to execute msaccess.msi passing a command line switch
"qb+" so that the installation is "relatively" quiet, giving only an
indication of progress and a final message indicating completion (or an
error if it failed). This way I have total control of the install and am
not subject to "external" matters. I have a license for Visual Studio
(which includes ADE 2003) so that I am properly licensed to distribute A3KI'm
Runtime.
Also by the way, I like the looks of ADE 2003's Custom Startup Wizard. I
haven't tried it yet, but I like its capabilities (on paper). Right now
doing pretty much all the functions that it performs, but doing themsame
manually. This may turn out to be much simpler!
Thanks for your help!!!!
Bob.

What's the deal with A3K and A3K Runtime. Can't they both be on the
computer? Or what?
While I haven't tried it I strongly suspect the A2003 runtime is smart
enough that if you already have the A2003 retail installed it doesn't
bother installing the runtime. Just your MDB/MDE, etc.
