I have installed the Access 2003 Runtime on my laptop (and several clients
machines) and one of my clients is having difficulties with his
installation. I'd like to uninstall the Acc03 Runtime and re-install a new
version but when I attempt to do it I get an error stating that another
version is already installed and the install package exits.

I attempt to uninstall it from Control Panel and even though it looks like
it's working, the Acc03 Runtime is taill there and I get the same error when
I try running the package again.

Any suggestions appreciated.

For anyone who's interested, I solved the problem.

The uninstall MUST be run from the original Setup Package CD itself.
Running the Remove" in Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs will NOT work,
whether the origninal install CD is in the CD drive or not. In fact, even
after running "Remove" from the CD Package Setup.exe, if you look in Control
Panel - Add/Remove programs, Microsoft Access 2003 Runtime is still there.
irrespective of that, you can still run a re-install off the same CD (or
another, newer version, presumably, although I haven't tested it).
