I am not sure what you mean by this question?
Are you asking what are the dependencies, and other libraries needed?
Yikes!! Last time I looked, a ms-access install makes in EXCESS of 1000
registry entries. So, we are talking about a rather large system here, and
something that is in the millions of lines of code! There is not simply one
..exe file here that gets loaded, but ZILLIONS of dll files (dynamic link
files) that are also required here.
However the situation for ms-access is not much different then that of word,
or Excel...they are all now quite large applications with a lot of
dependencies on other files and libraries having been loaded.
It is possible I am miss understanding your question...and do feel free to
expand, or clarify what you mean? It has been MANY years since any windows
application of any significant size is simply a simple .exe file......
If you are looking for informaotn on the runtime royaliry free ms-access
install, you can read about this system here:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;842004
and
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d.../odc_ac2003_ta/html/odc_acbasicsofruntime.asp
Make no mistake, while the above system allows you to make a standard
windows install for your ms-access application (and the target pc does NOT
have to have ms-access install), this package is in fact a version of
ms-access that does get installed..and it contains all of ms-access ,a and
the 1000+ registry entries, and the large number of dependant ddl libraries
etc. So, the runtime install starts at about 33 megs + size of your mde
compressed. Hence, the runtime system usually now checks in about 35-38 megs
in size...
