1706 error cant find DA0 source

[John Johnson]

In trying to open one database in Access and one part of that,
It goes to a install script and says a DA0 error,
1706 no valid source can be found for this product.

I think its looking for the install disk location but thats been
changed.

I did recently reinstall office from a copy on my hard drive and its
not looking there.
Everything else seems to work.

Found a MS Knowledge base article on this.

It is because it is trying to install a componet of Access and is
looking for the orginal drive it was installed from and that does
exist.
So MS has a couple of fixes that I can't quite follow and the basic
fix is to uninstall and reinstall office.

Wouldn't there be an easy way to find that particular key in the
Registry or where ever and just change the drive letter[pointing to
the new localtion.?

Here is the Knowledge base article.

I tried the run command they suggest but it did work. Still tried to
install something from the first location Office was install from.
