Installing Access 2003 PDW

[Jeff Molby]

Ok, this one has humbled me. I've done all sorts of work with building
distributions for Access 97 through Access XP. It's time for me to get my
feet wet with Access 2003, but I can't figure out how to get the stupid
Package and Deployment Wizard to install. I have Disc 2492 from my MSDN
Universal subscription, which contains Microsoft Office Professional
Enterprise Edition 2003. I don't see anything in the shipment that has
anything about "Developer tools", so I assume they're bundled into this
"Enterprise Edition". I did a full installation of Access as well as a full
installation of all of the Office Tools, but I still see no way to get to
the PDW. Please help me to feel less stupid!

No, they're not bundled into the Enterprise Edition. In the MSDN Universal
subscription, they're on disk 2084.1, 'Visio for Enterprise Architects 2003,
Microsoft Office Access 2003 Developer Extensions'.

Great, it's the one DVD that I can't find. Thanks for pointing me in the
right direction though!

It's a recent one - January 2004 - perhaps you just haven't received it yet?

BTW: It's one of the yellow-labelled developer tools CDs, not the
blue-labelled application CDs, like Office.

I couldn't find the disc, but I was able to download it from the MSDN site.
Thanks for all of your help!
