ACC2: Administrator Setup Does Not Create SETUP Subdirectory

MORE INFORMATION

Setting up Microsoft Access with the Administrator Setup lets you run Microsoft Access from a network server. This reduces the amount of disk space needed by workstations running Microsoft Access by storing most of the Microsoft Access files on the server.

When you run an Administrator Setup, the following subdirectories are created on the server below the Microsoft Access directory:

• SAMPAPPS
• SHARED
• SYSTEM
• WORKDIR

Note that no SETUP subdirectory is created. The SETUP.EXE file is installed in the Microsoft Access directory on the server.

To run a workstation installation, run SETUP.EXE from the Microsoft Access directory on the server, not from the SETUP subdirectory as stated in the Microsoft Access "User's Guide." Use the full path to the SETUP.EXE file to run a workstation installation, as in the following example:

   N:\ACCESS\SETUP.EXE
