removing a runtime app.

[Dave Columbus]

I would like to know how to remove a runtime app that was created in Access
2003 and the package wizard. I installed it on my test machine weeks ago, and
lost the installation cd. Add/Remove Programs will not uninstall it without
the cd with the proper .msi file. Any workarounds for this?

Thanks

Did you find an answer to this? I have the same issue: I have package I
created using access dev extensions and the user is unable to un-install
without the orginal CD that that package was made of. Unfortunately I don't
have that package anymore. We tried recreating it but the new CD is not
accepted by Windows uninstall program. It must be looking for that specific
build date. Whats the easiest way to get this un-installed?

I found this. Using the util it seemed to work for me.

Thanks very much. I tried searching the Knowledge Base, but I must not have
used the proper keywords. I ended up solving my problem by doing a system
restore on the client machine to a date previous to the install. Fortunately
it is a machine that I don't use for much besides testing my app. Thanks
again for the help.
