Hmm: There was an old error in Access 97 like that:

On Vista, it could be caused by something that needs to get written to the
registry. You might try creating a "Run As Adminstrator" shortcut for
msaccess.exe, and see if that elevates its permissions.

Details in Option 2 here:

I don't know if it will help but take a look at:

or from an prior post by Arvin Meyer

It takes a while for all the registrations between versions 2003 and 2007 to
get done. Every time you try to open in the opposite version from the one
that's registered, you'll have to wait until it's finished. With that in
mind. Try opening Access 2003 first and wait several minutes (up to as long
as 5 minutes has been reported) for it to fully open. After it's open, try
opening Northwind. That should work OK. Assuming it does, you should then be
able to open other databases.

Hopefully better late than never...

You might try renaming the c:\windows\fonts\haettenschweiler.ttf font
file as described in
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=141373 "'There Is No License' Error
Message Starting Microsoft Access", and then try installing Access again.
