Runtime installed without any issues (which contradicts this entire post!) But now all my wizards and extensions in Access don't work.
Most likely your Runtime install. Try uninstalling it first before attempting to re-install office.

It'll be fine (I think!)

Already tried that. Nearly finished re-install now anyway. Fingers crossed this fixes the bug.

From what I can gather from other posts it's the runtime has 'over written' some of the registry keys for Access.

I think someone mentioned that a little warning on the download website would have been nice!

Installing two of the same program is likely to have similar results from most software companies. But I can agree that it would be nice to have a way to know that the Runtime is the same Access that a full version uses, only disabled. So it uses the same MSAccess.exe, etc.
