How to prevent Windows Installer from running each time Access 2003 and 2007 start when there are installed on the same machine? -
is possible prevent windows installer running every time access 2003 , access 2007 started, when both installed on same machine @ same time..?
like many developers need run more 1 version of ms access. have installed access 2007. if open access 2003 , open access 2007 have wait 3mins 'configuring microsoft office enterprise 2007..." dialog. if open access 2003 again takes 30secs or configure that.
please note: using shortcuts open files include full path access. eg open access 2007:
"c:\program files\microsoft office 12\office12\msaccess.exe" "c:\test.accdb"
and 2003:
"c:\program files\microsoft office 11\office11\msaccess.exe" "c:\test.mdb"
this caused windows installer, used both installers. advertised shortcuts used both office 2003 , office 2007 invoke windows installer check entire feature installed properly; installer detects else (in case other product) has registered file extensions used access (possibly progids well) , decides repair necessary, invokes 'configuring office' dialog , proceeds reinstall various components.
to avoid this, run access program files directly; create shortcuts if you'll doing frequently.
