I've recently purchased XP developer from MS and can't figure out where I find the files to install Access 2002 Runtime. If someone could point me to the help file or simply the location of the setup file(s) on the proper disc I would be very appreciative.

There should be a setup wizard. You might try Tools Database Utilities. Check the install to verfy that all components have been copied.

I'm trying to install Access Runtime. I don't won't to make an MDE. I've installed Access 2000 runtime and I found the setup files on the Developer disc. It's just this time I haven't been able to locate a document that explained the file location of the setup exe. The goal is for me to not install Access that requirs a license. Instead I want the runtime version. That way i can develop access appliations and not need to get Office Pro for the users.

Disclaimer: I've yet to use Office XP, but I've done this plenty of times with 97/2000, and I'm going to assume that's it's similar

From the developer tools menu, start the package wizard. It works similar to the PDW in VS 6.0. It'll create a directory with all of the files, including the Access Runtime, necessary for installation on a client computer. Hopefully the XP version of this tool will allow for a little more customization that previous versions...
