New install Access 2021 (1 Viewer)

Hi,
Just wondering if anyone has encountered problems in actually installing Access 2021

my current version is Access 2010

I try to mount the img file using setup32.exe and it just locks…..

Any advice would be greatly appreciated

many thanks
Peter

maybe uninstall the previous version before installing the latest version.

Thanks for that but really don’t want to remove Access 2010 as want two versions until I’m happy with test
I’m told it shouldn’t overwrite
I’m going to try on another pc thanks

It has never been recommended that you keep multiple versions of Office installed. There are many shared libraries and so much opportunity for confusion.

If you need to keep old versions of Office, the best solution is using a VM which keeps everything totally isolated

Perhaps read up here?

Installing Multiple Office Versions

This article explains how you can successfully install more than one version of Office on the same workstation including Access runtime and mixed bitness installations
