A google search of this topic showed some discussions of this exact
problem, but nothing about how to actually solve the problem.

I have a user who needs to run Access97 on their brand new Vista
computer (Enterprise - but I don't think that matters). At the end of
the installation (setup.exe run as Administrator), I get an error that says
"an error occurred at changing the workgroup database
SETUP couldn't create a system.mdw file. Reboot your computer and
run Workgroup Administrator before you run the application"

So I did that (as Administrator).

Nada.

Copied a System.mdw file from another machine and put it in a directory
called "C:\Apps\Office97Extras\" and pointed to it using Workgroup Admin.

Still nada.



I am officially out of ideas. Anyone else? Anyone? Bueller?


(I looked for an Access newsgroup to post this to, but none of them
seemed appropriate for this question)
