If you try to perform an administrative installation of the Access run-time application by using the msiexec /a accessrt.msi command, the Setup program quits and the run-time application is not installed. You do not receive an error message when the Setup program quits.

CAUSE

This problem occurs because the Access run-time is not designed to support administrative installations.
