SYMPTOMS
When you run the Setup program for the Microsoft Office
Small Business Pack (OSBP), you may receive either of the following error
messages:
Setup could not find Microsoft Office
installed on your
system. Please install Microsoft Office before
installing
this application.
Setup could not find Microsoft Access
installed on your system.
Please install Microsoft Access before
installing this application.
If you receive either of the two error
messages, your only option is to click OK, and you are not able to continue
with the setup of OSBP.
CAUSE
You may receive either of these error messages if you do
not have Microsoft Access version 7.0 or the Microsoft Office Shortcut Bar
installed on your computer. You will receive only the first error message if
you either do not have the Office Shortcut Bar installed or you do not have
both the Office Shortcut Bar and Access installed. You will only receive the
second error message if you do not have Microsoft Access installed.
WORKAROUND
Microsoft has a download file, "Installing Small Business
Pack Without Microsoft Access 7.0", which allows you to install the OSBP
without having to install Microsoft Access 7.0.
MORE INFORMATION
Because of the design and function of the OSBP templates
and OSBP toolbar, you normally need to have both Microsoft Access version 7.0
and the Office Shortcut Bar on your computer in order to successfully install
and use OSBP.
