Access 2003 Runtime + Office SP2

[Guest]

Hi!

I 'd like to slipstream access 2003 runtime with the office sp2.
Is this possible? I can't find any information about an adminstrative
installation from access runtime 2003.

Any suggestions or informations?

I don't believe it's actually legal.

The runtime is intended to be packaged with an application for installation,
not installed on its own.

Thanks for your answer, but that's absurd.
The access runtime 2003 is included in every
ms office professional cd. I can first install the runtime
from the cd and then install the office sp2.
Now, I'd like to add the access runtime 2003 and
the sp2 in one package. Finally I've got
the same effect!! Are there no posibilities
to add the runtime and the sp2 in 1 package?
It's easier to distribute only one package!

Recall that the Access Runtime isn't a separate product: it's the same
executable as "normal" Access (msaccess.exe). However, you need to purchase
(for Access 2003) Visual Studio Tools for Office in order to be able to
legally redistribute it.


My advice would be to contact Microsoft for any questions about licensing.
