Multiple version & annoying Win Installer

[FuzMic]

Hi friends

According to Msoft, "a computer with multiple versions of Access: Windows Installer starts when we alternately start from different version eg Access 03 <> Access 07"

This is quite annoying and sad to say i can't find a solution in the this link http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928091/en-us?FR=1

Appreciate any advice.

That is something that must happen because it needs to make registry changes for the version currently being used. If you install 2007 SP1 it won't take as long for it to occur as when you don't have Service Pack 1 installed.

Thanks Bob

i just installed SP1 after solving the installation problem with office2007-kb946691-fullfile-x86-glb.exe.
You are RIGHT!, it takes shorter time but ... someone mention the following:


[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Access\NoRepairNeeded]
@=""

- The version under the AccWiz CLSID key is < "8.1"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{53230322-172B-11D0-AD40-00A0C90DC8D9}\Version]
@="8.1"

- The 'CurVer' is not registered to 'Access.Application.12'
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Access.Application\CurVer]
@="Access.Application.12"


Access 2003 (SP3)
=================
- The 'NoRepairNeeded' key is missing
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Access\NoRepairNeeded]
@=""

- The version under the AccWiz CLSID key is < "8.1"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{53230322-172B-11D0-AD40-00A0C90DC8D9}\Version]
@="8.1"

- The Jet Excel ISAM key pointing to a wrong version of the isam dll
For an English default installation that would be
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Jet\4.0\Engines\Excel]
"win32"="C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Office\\OFFICE11\\msaexp30.dll"
"win32old"="C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\msexcl40.dll"


What's your view on the above? I can't get a fix as yet. Michael
