Hi Guys, this is an interesting one.
So I have a programme that uses Access 2010 runtime. It is deployed with some .net dll's etc so I wanted a super slick, professional single click install.
I have gone for the Access Runtime silent install using the config file method. I am using a .Net install package to control the install process.
Anyway, it works. Completely silent install of Access runtime ... Except.
On a machine that has never had office installed when you first load an Access database a screen appears asking how I want to keep Access updated. I don't want this screen to appear. It seems to not be part of the install as if I uninstall Access Runtime, then reinstall it the screen does not appear.
I would show you a picture, but I can't reproduce it in my test machine now!
What I am asking is, does anyone know if there is a registry key to set the update preference for Access (or office). I guess if I can set this key during install then this screen would never appear...
