The wizard uses the run-time files that are included with the release version of Access when you create an installation package for an application in Access 2003 or in Access 2002 (916176)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Office Access 2003
- Microsoft Access 2002
- Microsoft Office Access 2003 Runtime
- Microsoft Access 2002 Runtime
- Microsoft Office Access 2003 Developer Extensions
- Microsoft Office XP Developer
SYMPTOMSConsider the following scenario. You develop an application
in Microsoft Office Access 2003 or in Microsoft Access 2002. You create an
installation package for the application by using either the Package Wizard
that is included with Microsoft Office Access 2003 Developer Extensions or the
Packaging Wizard that is included with Microsoft Office XP Developer Edition.
In this scenario, the wizard uses the run-time files that are included with the
release version of Access, even though you installed
Office service packs and other Office software updates. The wizard does not use
the updated files.CAUSEThe installation package is always built from the run-time
files that are included with the release version of Access and from the setup files that are found on the Office CD or on the Access
CD. You must apply the updates to these files after you install the run-time
application. You apply the updates on the client computer directly or
through the setup script that is described in the "Workaround"
section.WORKAROUNDTo work around this behavior, use the following method that
corresponds to the version of Access that you are using. Method 1: Microsoft Office Access 2003To make sure that the updated files in Access 2003 are used when
you create an installation package, follow these steps:
- Download and save the latest Microsoft Office 2003 service
pack. To obtain Microsoft Office 2003 Service Pack 2 (SP2), visit the following
Microsoft Download Center Web site: For more

Microsoft scanned this file for viruses. Microsoft used the most
current virus-detection software that was available on the date that the file
was posted. The file is stored on security-enhanced servers that help prevent
any unauthorized changes to the file.
- Copy the file that you downloaded in step 1 to the Files
folder of the installation package for the application that you developed. For
example, copy the Office2003SP2-KB887616-FullFile-ENU.exe file to the Files
folder.
- In Notepad, open the Setup.ini file from the Files\Setup
folder of the application.
- Add the following lines of code to the end of the Setup.ini
file.

downloaded in step 1. - Save the Setup.ini file.
Method 2: Microsoft Access 2002To make sure that the updated files in Access 2002 are used when
you create an installation package, follow these steps:
- Download and save the appropriate software updates to a
local folder. For example, download and save the following software updates that
correspond to the version of Access that you are using to the C:\Updates
folder:
- To obtain Update for Access 2002 (KB904018), visit the
