access install error "requires Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 6 orlater."

[RCGUA]

I am using Access 2003 and Office Developer Packaging Wizard to create
a .exe setup/install file of my Access database. The package is made
but when I click on the setup.exe file, it begins to install and then
give the error message: "requires Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 6 or
later."

Does anyone know how to fix this?

What are you trying to install on? If it's an earlier version of Windows it
will not install.

To work around this problem, delete the line that contains the
Dbmsadsn.dll file from the Ospfilelist.txt file. Then, change “All” to
“9x” in the fourth column of the lines that contain the Msxml.dll file
name, the Dbnmpntw.dll file name, and the Sqloledb.dll file name.
Then, create the Access 2002 runtime deployment package. To do this,
follow these steps:
Locate the Packaging Wizard folder on the computer where the Access
2002 runtime deployment package was created.

By default, the Packaging Wizard folder can be found in the following
location:
Installation_Drive:\Program Files\Microsoft Office Developer\Packaging
Wizard
Start Notepad, and then open the Ospfilelist.txt file.

Note Make a backup copy of the Ospfilelist.txt file.
In the Ospfilelist.txt file, locate and then delete the line that
contains the Dbmsadsn.dll file.
In the Ospfilelist.txt file, locate the three lines that contain the
Msxml.dll file name, the Dbnmpntw.dll file name, and the Sqloledb.dll
file name. Change the fourth column of each line from “All” to “9x.”
On the File menu, click Save.
On the File menu, click Exit.
Create the Access 2002 runtime deployment package again by using the
Packaging Wizard.
Install the Access 2002 runtime deployment package on the computer

I see that you've found your answer. That particular error message is
usually seen when trying to install on an earlier version.
