Editing Access Runtime Accessrt.msi in Orca 1

[leslie746]

Dear All,

I want to install the Access Runtime along with my application (say MyProg) using the directory tree:
Program Files\MyProg\Access_RT where "MyProg" is my application and "Access_RT" contains the Access runtime.

When I try to edit Accessrt.msi using Orca, I seem to be lost in Orca Tables and Directories entries which I am trying to amend.

After I change INSTALLLOCATION to point at the above path, runtime installation starts with default path: "<Drive>:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10" and ignores the defined Installlocation.

I would like to be able to skip the dialog box (offering the choice of destination)and instead to go to silent installation into a predefined destination.

I am at complete loss when I see entries like TARGETDIR, SOURCEDIR. Which of them, or any other entries should be amended?

Early assistance would be most appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

TARGETDIR should be what you want to set. Here are some links to get you started:
