Where To Find Jet Updates For Off 2003 on Win 7 Pro OS ?

[Gary]

I just got a new system with Win 7 Pro installed. I loaded in Office 2000
and Office 2003. During loading of 2003, I removed everything of 2000 except
for Access 2000. So I have both Access 2000 and Office 2003 on my system.

I tried to do a regedit to change my Jet to allow non-standard filename
extension and there wasn't a Jet folder. What do I do ???

This is the registry path I wanted:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Jet\4.0\Engines\Text

Can someone tell me how can I see this Jet folder ???

Or How to load Jet component to my system??

Thanks,

G

I just got a new system with Win 7 Pro installed.

Is this the 64 bit edition of Windows 7? This can make a big
difference as to location of msjet40.dll and the registry.

and Office 2003. During loading of 2003, I removed everything of 2000 except
for Access 2000. So I have both Access 2000 and Office 2003 on my system.

Why do you need to change Jet to allow a non standard file name
extension?

This is the registry path I wanted:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Jet\4.0\Engines\Text

Can someone tell me how can I see this Jet folder ???

Or How to load Jet component to my system??

See if msjet40.dll exists in \Windows\System32. If it does then it's
installed so I don't see what the problem is. If not then look for
it somewhere else in the Windows folder.

The Win 7 Pro OS is a 64-bit.

Can you help me locate where what what needs to be change for non-standard
extension on filenames ?? I know how to do it on XP OS, but Win 7 Pro
64-bit seems to be different.

Thank You,

Gary

I just discovered some more on my system. It is Win 7 Pro 64 bits.

I was looking in my registry and saw a folder called "Wow6432Node".

I was able to see the following path:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Jet\4.0\Engines\Text\DisabledExtension

If I made my changes here, will this allow me to use non-standard
extensions??? The only different in the path is "Wow6432Node". I normally
make the "DisabledExtension" = exe


Thank You,

I have no idea as I haven't yet got a 64 bit system. Why not try it
and see?

The Win 7 Pro OS is a 64-bit.

That's what I figured.

But I'm still curious. Why do you want to make this change?

Yes, Wow6432Node is what Windows 32 programs like MSAccess
get when they query HKLM.

Windows 64 has 64 bit calls to the registery, and 64 bit registry
values, so 32 bit programs like Access can't directly query the registry.
Access has to go through a re-director which mimics the 32 bit
registry, and the 32 bit values are stored in a special Wos6432Node
of the 64 bit registry.

There are a whole bunch of differences because of this (like
RegEnumKeyEx doesn't work), but nothing that matters to you.

By the way, on my own PC I just add new extensions (like DOC)
to the end of the list. For applications running on another machine,
I don't use other extensions.
