Access 97 Runtime Installation

Eliminate the common Access runtime issues and save a lot of time and money in product and installation support.

The Setup Wizard that comes with Microsoft's Office Developer Environment (ODE) has a number of well documented problems. Sagekey's installation tools fix these bugs and allow the user to customize the installation process.

You will be able to build a complete Standalone or Client-Server type install that will install all of the items required to load an Access 97 runtime application on any PC, allowing you to create seamless commercial grade installations for your Access 97 based products. The tools can also add a license agreement, a help file, a custom workgroup file, extra support files and shortcuts on the desktop and in the program group.

The installations created by our tools have been tested on a full range of computers that run Access 97 ie Windows 95, 98, ME, NT4, 2000,  XP, Server 2003 and Vista operating systems with and without full and runtime versions of Access 97, 2000, 2002, 2003 and 2007.

We offer versions of our Access 97 installation tools using either Wise Installation Studio or MSI as the installation engine. Links at the bottom of this page describe the versions in detail.

Key Features 
  • Enjoy the advantages our scripts have that you won't find using only the ODE:

    When a full version of Access 2000 is loaded on top of an ODE created Access 97 Runtime, the Access 2000 installer automatically removes the Access 97 runtime. When the user then runs the Access 97 runtime application, access 2000 opens it and the user is asked whether they want to open it or convert it to the 2000 format. Our scripts load an Access 97 runtime which is independent of Access 2000 and is not removed by the Access 2000 installer.

    When Office 2000 is present on the target PC and the Access 97 Application uses object libraries, the application fails using the ODE Runtime. Our scripts provide tools to properly register Object Libraries allowing the Access 97 Application to work in the presence of Office 2000

    When a full version of Access 95, 97, 2000, 2002, 2003 or 2007 exists on the users PC, the installation does not overwrite the settings with the runtime settings.

    Our runtime doesn't display a splash screen registered to the Developers name and company.

    An independent set of runtime files are loaded that continue to work when a full version of Access is loaded and then removed.

    The installation can be forced to reboot upon completion. This is required if you use an Access database for post installation database setup.

    Fixes the Internet Explorer 4.0 Comcat.dll bug.

    Fixes the bug when the ODBC option is loaded.

    Adds Access 97 ODBC support.

    Adds support for Spell Checker when loaded via another office 97 product.

    Adds support for the import and export functions within Access.

    Fixes the bug when the Exchange ISAM option is loaded.

    Has no limit on the number of registry entries that can be added.

  • Co-exist with all other versions of Access -  Produce a runtime installation that co-exists with, and is independent of, other versions of Access. Our tools create a Runtime installation that co-exists with, and is independent of, Access 95, 97, 2000, 2002, 2003 and 2007. The Microsoft Packaging Wizard does not.
  • Settings that Microsoft's installer doesn't offer -  Our tools include Import, Export, Clipboard and the functions that merge with Word or Excel to work.
  • Ensure all the required preconditioning components get installed -  Our tools create a single installation that loads the Application, the Runtime, and all of the required preconditioning components.
  • Build a typical installation set within an hour -  Create a complete install with a few simple steps.
  • Create either a standalone installation or a client-server installation -  Our installation tools create either a standalone installation that loads everything onto the target PC, or a client-server install that offers the end user the choice of either a Standalone, Workstation or Server install so the frontend and backend can be loaded on different PC's. Relinking code to place into the frontend is also provided in a sample database.
