Setup for A2002 rejected by A2003

I have an Access program packaged under Office Developer
XP. New users with Access 2003 receive messages
from "Setup.exe" that they have to have Access 2002 to
install. I can't duplicate because my machine w/2003 also
has 2002. Also requires install of MS Jet 4.0 Svc Pk 8,
and runs into the "unsafe expressions" block. There must
be some documentation of this problem somewhere. Anyone
know where? Right now I have to help them extract the
materials from the programname.cab package. Really sloppy
and not very awe inspiring....

You need a REAL installer. Installers generated by any version of PDW are
notoriously problematic. There is a white paper under add-ins/extras
section of web site below that you may find helpful.

In respect to the unsafe expressions block...you either have to get Access
2003 and sign your code with a digital certificate, or set macro security to
low during your install. The applicable registry keys are:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Jet\4.0\Engines]
"SandBoxMode"=dword:00000002

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Access\Security]
"Level"=dword:00000001

Nevertheless, if your users do not have rights in to registry or set macro
security to medium or high after install, they'll still get the unsafe
expressions block.
