Package and Deployment

[jancheta]

For packaging an access distributable, I'm using the runtime in MOD2000 SR-1 which works fine if the user has Admin priveleges.

Has anyone tried using another application to create their distributable? If yes, how are the files registered and which files (ie dll's, etc.) are required?

I gave up on the Microsoft package and setup thing a long time ago. I now use Wise Installation standard and Sagekey Acess 2000 Runtime scripts. This is the only way to distribute an Access application without any headaches. This allows you to combine the Access runtime installation with your applications installation. Your users won't even know it's an Access application. For complete details on how this works check out

It's not cheap though. Wise standard edition is around $400 and Sagekey is $375 but it is well worth it.
