Acc2 on Windows XP

[YmK]

I suppose it has been already asked:
Is there a way to run an Acc2 app in Windows XP?
Too much work to start upgrading.

Hi YmK,

From your descriptions, I understand that you would like to know how
opening Access 2 applications with Windows XP. Have I understood the issue
correctly and completely? If there is anything I misunderstood, please feel
free to let me know.

Based on my knowledge, If your Access 2 application is run-time install
package, it could be installed in Windows XP and then you could open it as
you do in Windows 98 / 2000. If your Access 2 application is not run-time
install package, you should install Access 2 on Windows XP first and then
open it. You could have Access 2 / 97 / 2000 / XP and 2003 installed on
same machine. Mind to install them on different directory.

Hope this helps and please feel free to post in the group if this solves
your problem or if you would like further help.

Sincerely yours,

"Access 2.0 cannot be installed on Enabled Windows"

Sounds like a problem with the new security features
of WinXP. Have you applied the Beta Release Service Pack?

Hi YmK,

Thanks for you reply.

Based on my test, I could install Access 2.0 on Windows XP Professional
(with lateest patches). The error message "Access 2.0 cannot be installed
on Enabled Windows" should be caused by Windows XP file missing.

Based on my knowledge, "Enabled" is the term for the version of Microsoft
Win95 with English menus, help etc but with support for Hebrew
bidirectional language. It is more compatible than pure Hebrew Win95 in
most ways, less so in others. So I think some of your XP files may be
replaced or some problems with your Windows Language settings. What's the
version of your Windows? What's your language settings? I think we could
successfully install Access 2.0 on a pure Windows XP.

Moreover, we could open Access 2.0 mdb files now and you could get more
detailed information from the following documents and you could contact PSS
to make a free request for it.

Error Message: You Must Install the Microsoft Access 2.0 Converter in Order
to Convert This File
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;830271

Hope this helps and if you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate
to let me know. We are here to be of assistance!

The Access 2.0 I have is English.
The WinXP I have is the English with the Bi-Directional feature added for
hebrew support and the latest critical Windowsupdate.
Should I install Acc2.0 before adding the Hebrew support?
If I remove the Hebrew support, install Acc2.0 and then restore hebrew
support, will there be any problem with my language settings?

Hi YmK,

Thanks for your instant reply.

However, I am not very sure about your words for "Bi-Directional feature
added for hebrew support". What kind of settings do you make? Would you
please give me more detailed descriptions for it? More detialed information
will make us closer to the resolutions.

Based on my testing, I install an pure Windows XP Pro and then set as the
followings below
1. Open Regional and Language Options in Control Panel Classic Views
2. In Languages page, I clicked "Install files for complex script and
right-to-left languages(including Thai)", which required insert of XP
installation Disk and then restart
3. In Regional Options page, I set Standards and formats to be Hebrew and
Location to be Israel
4. In Advanced page, I set Language for non-Unicode programs to be Hebrew.

After applying all above, I tried to install Access 2.0 on my Windows XP, I
could install in succesfully.

Anyway, you could make a try on your XP by removing hebrew support, which
may be time-consuming for trouble shooting, and see whether it will put you
on the right track. I think some character set make conflicts between
non-unicode and unicode

Hope this helps and if you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate
to let me know. We are here to be of assistance!

I tried to install it on a clean computer. Fresh WinXP Pro install with SP1
and without the Right-to-left files and I got the same message. Maybe the
problem is from the set Acc2.0 of disks I have. I will try to get another
set and try to install it.

It's OK, I see that you have Hebrew Support (the other
kind of 'Enabled' that you can get for Win XP).

Hi YmK,

Thanks for your reply.

I was able to reproduce your error! However I could not find a better way
to solve it.

I find an Access 2.0 in Hebrew Version. When I try to install it in my
Windows XP (English Version, both SP1 and non-SP1), I will get an error
"Access 2.0 cannot be installed on Enabled Windows"

So I suggest you find an Access 2.0 (English Version) and then install it
on Windows XP (English Version) or you may try to install Access 2.0 in
Hebrew Version on Windows XP (both in Hebrew Version).

Hope this helps.
