In that case, there's a checkbox on one of the Wizard pages (don't recall
which page), which if checked, allows you to specify the location of the
runtime files to include in the package. When the end-user installs the
package, if they don't already have the runtime installed, the installer
will install it.
It's been a long time since I used the 2000 P&DW, but as I recall, the
checkbox label is something like "Include Access Runtime".
