Access 2003 Package Wizard

[gavinjb]

Hi,

I have just started to use the Access 2003 Package Wizard and I am having big problems, my problem is that any Access App deployed at work is installed under C:\MIS, but in there wizdom!!! MS have decided not to allow you to have anything but what they think you should have as the default install location.

I have even gone into the source code and found where the default locations are, but the problem is that you have to add the entry to both a table and an XML file, the table is easy, but trying to find where and what I need to add to the xml, so far has turned out to be impossible.

Can anyone help, or is the best solution going to be to use a third party installer.


Thanks,



Gavin,

I had a bear of a time trying to get the wizard to work too. What I finally did was write down the path given in the error messages and then manually copy the files it was asking for to that location. Then it finally worked.

Thanks,

In the end I gave up on Ms Package Wizard as it is far to restrictive and I am currently evaluating various open/closed source generic package wizards, which are more flexible.


Thanks,


Gavin,
