ASP.NET, SQL Server, WPF, C#, VB.NET

Hi All, 
 
I have an Access app I want to distribute as a runtime app for every 
 
Windows OS since 98SE.  I own Access 2002 Developer, so I'm good with the 
 
licensing.  I had troubles trying to customize the packaging wizard, so chose 
 
to use a third party installer (Tarma). 
 
I have a package that works.  I install the following packages, in the 
 
following order. 
 
hhupd.exe 	    	    	System Help 
 
mdac_type.exe    	Data Access Components 
 
vbrun60sp6.exe    	VB Runtime 
 
OSP.msi    	    	System Files 
 
accessrt.msi    	Access Runtime 
 
I'm concerned that I might be installing unnecessary or redundant 
 
files, or packages in the wrong order.  Can anyone verify that what I'm doing 
 
makes sense?  Any advice is appreciated. 
 
Thanks, Max

Hi Max, 
 
order looks ok. but you have to install first 4 only if you really use them, 
 
else Access Runtime should be enough. Actually you can do some testing using 
 
virtual PC and check if all required components are there

Thanks, Alex.  Honestly, I don't recall why I have everything installing 
 
separately and with the runtime, too.  I'll do some more testing, and see if 
 
I can do without those things. 
 
So far, I've done my testing using a couple of dual boot PCs.  I'll take a 
 
closer look at Virtual PC.  It looks like it might be a nicer way to go 
 
(having everything in one place). 
 
TTFN, Max
