Administrative installation of the Access run-time application is not successful
Moderate: Requires basic macro, coding, and interoperability skills.
This article applies only to a Microsoft Access database (.mdb).
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.
This problem occurs because the Access run-time is not designed to support administrative installations.
Steps to reproduce the behavior
- Open Windows Explorer.
- In the C:\Program Files folder, create a
new folder, and then name the folderaccessrt.
- Obtain the Accessrt.msi file from the Microsoft Office 2003 CD, and then paste the file in the accessrt folder.
- Click Start, and then
click Run.
- In the Open box, type
cmd, and then click
OK.
By default, the command prompt window opens. - Locate the accessrt folder, and then type
the following command:
msiexec /a accessrt.msi
The Setup program quits, and you do not receive an error message. However, the Access
run-time application is not installed.
APPLIES TO
- Microsoft Office Access 2003
