You didn't need to install another copy of the Workgroup Administrator
application, since it was already installed on your computer when you
installed Access.

Did you copy these files to a CD, then copy the files from the CD to your
computer, and is your current operating system _not_ Windows XP? If so,
then remove the "Read only" attributes on these files so that Access can use
them.
