I installed Office 2003 Small Business Edition, but I am trying to use Access
2002 from a previous installation of Office XP. When I start Access 2002 and
try to create a database an error message occurs. It says that the Workgroup
Administrator cannot create the workgroup information file. It also says that
it cannot find the system.mdw file. I have tried to create and join a
workgroup, but that does not work. I also have uninstalled and re-installed
all components. What do I need to do to use Access 2002?
 
The following KB article deals with an error message similar to what you are
seeing.
