APPLIES TO


 * Microsoft Office Access 2003

Moderate: Requires basic macro, coding, and interoperability skills. This article applies only to a Microsoft Access database (.mdb).



SYMPTOMS
If you try to perform an administrative installation of the Access run-time application by using the msiexec /a accessrt.msi command, the Setup program quits and the run-time application is not installed. You do not receive an error message when the Setup program quits.



CAUSE
This problem occurs because the Access run-time is not designed to support administrative installations.



Steps to reproduce the behavior
 Open Windows Explorer. In the C:\Program Files folder, create a new folder, and then name the folder accessrt . Obtain the Accessrt.msi file from the Microsoft Office 2003 CD, and then paste the file in the accessrt folder. Click Start, and then click Run. In the Open box, type cmd, and then click OK.

By default, the command prompt window opens. Locate the accessrt folder, and then type the following command:

msiexec /a accessrt.msi

The Setup program quits, and you do not receive an error message. However, the Access run-time application is not installed.</li></ol>
