Access 2007 runtime on a memory stick

Hi

Will it be possible to install and run access runtime 2007 on a usb memory
stick to distribute with a database file so clients can use the database
without having to install anything?

Regards

Ben

No.

The runtime is actually the same msaccess.exe as the full version of Access,
simply limited as to what it can do through literally hundreds of registry
entries. It needs all the support DLLs and other COM objects to be
installed.

And licensing costs for the OS in the VPC. Unless, of course, you can
get Wine under Linux successfully running your version of Access.
