Access Runtime 2007 & Development App

[EddieN1]

I have a full-development version of Access 2007 on my computer. I downloaded AccessRuntime.exe to try to test the runtime version for a client. When I run AccessRuntime.exe, it goes through about 10 minutes of extracting, prepping, windows config, gathering info, and finally installation complete. However, I can't find it anywhere. Is this because I already have the development system installed? I know I can use the /runtime option to test it, but I wanted to be sure the client can install access runtime on his computer.



Thanks, Eddie

I believe when you install Access, the runtime version is already part of the install. To test the runtime, change your extention to .accdr. The "r" notation at the end will force access to use the runtime version for the app. The only other way of testing install is to try to install runtime in a computer with no access installed

Thanks. I kinda thought that, but I wanted to confirm it.
