Burgers are King
When the Access 2007 Developer Extensions and Runtime tools were announced I
thought great and as soon as they were released I immediately down loaded and
installed them studied there use and applied then to a database for a
installation on a computer with no Microsoft Access using the ‘Package
Solution Wizard’
Following the instruction I was able to reach page 4 save the Wizard
settings and produce an Installable package which I copied to disk and
successfully installed my Access Application on the stand alone computer.
The directory structure was as follows:
Local Disk C
• Folder Access Application/Application.accdr
o Subfolder Application Data/Data.accdb
o Subfolder Application Backup/DatetimeData.bak
This was great and I thought everything would be OK which it was until an
error (minor but embarrassing spelling was discovered in the Application. No
problem I thought I’ll use the ‘Package Solution Wizard’ containing an
amended version of my Application taking into account the information
provided by Microsoft referring to ‘Changing Product Code’ and ‘Using an
UpgradeCode’
Note. I was not able do uninstall as this would remove the application, the
data and any backups that had been created.
After a full day of changing ‘Product Code’, ‘UpgradeCode’ and ‘Product
Version’ (in every combination I could think of) the result was total
failure. I just could not replace the Application.accdr file with the amended
one. (At this point the silence was broken by the sound of a single shot!!!!
Fortunately it was only it was only the pop of a bottle of beer opening.)
Help is it possible to do what I am trying to do?
Have I missed something?
How about you guys at Microsoft can you throw any light on the subject?
