I would like to be able to install a 2000 Access Runtime on a XP computer
that is running the Office 2003 including Access 2003 or Office 2002
including Access 2002. I searched to see if there have been any problems
reported with this type of installation, and from what I have seen, no one
is reporting any. Does any one know of a reason why this will not install
or work or of any problems relating to this installation? I would rather
have a 2003 Runtime installation, but the Packaging Wizard for the 2003 is
being very uncooperative in allowing you to add features like the compact
option which runs under a runtime or to be able to run a batch after the
installation or even change the default directory. I am trying to
successfully package the application for a 2003 environment, but until I
can, I need to release as a 2000 Runtime. Any help on this would
appreciated. Thanks

You'll have co-existence issues, i.e., file associations will change to
whichever version was opened last. If they have retail 2003 and get stuck
with your 2000 runtime, users may not be too happy with you.

Really, if you are distributing a 2000 format database and the target system
already has a compatible version of Access, there is no reason for you to
install the runtime. Just use the installed version. There is a white
paper at site below with sample scripts for finding installed version of
Access and creating shortcuts....see Tools/Add-Ins/Extras.
