Prevent Access 2007 from starting setup

[Jan Serpieters]

I've a computer with two versions of MS Access installed (2000 and 2007 and
both needed).
Access 2000 was installed first (in C:\Program files\Microsoft Office) and
then Access 2007 (in C:\Program files\Microsoft Office12).
With Access 2000 there are no problems and when a user ONLY uses Access 2007
then everything works fine to.
But when a user has started Access 2000 first and then needs to launch
Access 2007 then setup of Office 2007 starts configurating the system.
Afterwards Access 2007 runs again without problems.

How can I prevent this re-configuration of Office 2007 when starting Access
2007?

I've tried adding the following registry keys:
reg add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Word\Options /v NoReReg /t
REG_DWORD /d 1
reg add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\excel\Options /v NoReReg /t
REG_DWORD /d 1
reg add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Outlook\Options /v NoReReg /t
REG_DWORD /d 1
reg add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\PowerPoint\Options /v NoReReg /t
REG_DWORD /d 1
reg add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Publisher\Options /v NoReReg /t
REG_DWORD /d 1
reg add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Access\Options /v NoReReg /t
REG_DWORD /d 1
reg add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\9.0\Access\Options /v NoReReg /t
REG_DWORD /d 1

reg add HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Word\Options /v NoReReg /t
REG_DWORD /d 1
reg add HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\excel\Options /v NoReReg /t
REG_DWORD /d 1
reg add HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Outlook\Options /v NoReReg /t
REG_DWORD /d 1
reg add HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\PowerPoint\Options /v NoReReg /t
REG_DWORD /d 1
reg add HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Publisher\Options /v NoReReg /t
REG_DWORD /d 1
reg add HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Access\Options /v NoReReg /t
REG_DWORD /d 1
reg add HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Office\9.0\Access\Options /v NoReReg /t
REG_DWORD /d 1

but without result.

Thanks in advance for your reply.

Jan,

This has been a problem for years when you have two or more versions of
Access on a single machine. I have heard of no way to stop this.
