SYMPTOMS
When you install a custom application that you created with the Microsoft Access Developer's Toolkit (ADT) version 2.0, a file named WRKGADM.EXE is installed in the application directory even though you did not specify this file for installation when you created the application's custom Setup.



CAUSE
The WRKGADM.EXE file is the Workgroup Administrator utility and is required to create a system database if you do not include one with your run-time application. Setup copies the WRKGADM.EXE file to the application directory and then runs it to create the system database. After running the file, Setup is unable to delete it.



RESOLUTION
If you include a system database file called SYSTEM.MDA with your custom application, Setup will not copy the WRKGADM.EXE file to the application directory. If you want to include a system database with a name other than SYSTEM.MDA, include the custom system database and any file called SYSTEM.MDA (for instance, a text file) with your application.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft Access Developer's Toolkit version 2.0. This problem no longer occurs in the Microsoft Access Developer's Toolkit version 7.0.
