Microsoft Access 2000 Package and Deployment Wizard Setup Modifications

by Chris Mills

This modified access2000pdwsetup1.exe fixes several issues with distributing Access 2000 runtime.
· allows a data path to be specified for a Front End/Back End installation.
· allows a shortcut icon to be specified.
· the working directory ("Start In") is now implemented.

Documentation is in the file. Source code changes are marked CGM.

Source for this utility is here.

Search for "The Setup Toolkit" on the MSDN CD which comes with Office Developer for more information on the Setup1 project (requires VB6).

Note: The shortcut icon is similar but not identical to the method posted by Microsoft: at Distributing Custom Icons with Your Microsoft Office 2000 Applications"
