Access runtime

[digitalman]

I used your method for checking for the Access Runtime by checking the registry "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\MSACCESS.EXE\Path". It seems that some users are running the install and it's not installing the runtime yet the runtime is missing from their computer. I'm guessing this may be because access was installed at one point and then removed but the registry setting was not deleted. I don't have access to the user's computer to prove this theory. Is there possibly another way to check for the runtime maybe by searching for a dll instead?

Hi,

Other way to check for Access Runtime is to search for a "File Version" like this:

File To Find: [ProgramFilesFolder]MSACCESS.EXE
Search Depth: 3
Minimum Version: 9.0

This search is done in the "Program Files" folder. If you want to make a search on all drives type MSACCESS.EXE in the "File To Find" field. "Search Depth" represents how deep in folder structure the search will be made.

Hope this helps.

Best Regards,
Gigi
