SYMPTOMS
When you run the Setup program for the Microsoft Office Small Business Pack (OSBP), you may receive either of the following error messages:

Setup could not find Microsoft Office installed on your

system. Please install Microsoft Office before installing

this application.

-or-

Setup could not find Microsoft Access installed on your system.

Please install Microsoft Access before installing this application.

If you receive either of the two error messages, your only option is to click OK, and you are not able to continue with the setup of OSBP.



CAUSE
You may receive either of these error messages if you do not have Microsoft Access version 7.0 or the Microsoft Office Shortcut Bar installed on your computer. You will receive only the first error message if you either do not have the Office Shortcut Bar installed or you do not have both the Office Shortcut Bar and Access installed. You will only receive the second error message if you do not have Microsoft Access installed.



WORKAROUND
Microsoft has a download file, "Installing Small Business Pack Without Microsoft Access 7.0", which allows you to install the OSBP without having to install Microsoft Access 7.0.



MORE INFORMATION
Because of the design and function of the OSBP templates and OSBP toolbar, you normally need to have both Microsoft Access version 7.0 and the Office Shortcut Bar on your computer in order to successfully install and use OSBP.
