ODE97: ODE Setup Wizard Creates Unexpected Registry Keys

MORE INFORMATION

• Prevent standard Microsoft Access settings that users might modify in their database properties and startup options from conflicting with your application needs.
• Ensure that when you distribute your applications, other programs using the Jet database engine do not override custom settings your application needs.
• Test your application under different configurations.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

1. Create a simple custom application that does not include the run-time component or any profiles for the Windows registry. These options are set on page three and page four of the Setup Wizard program.
2. On the Add files page, add any text file and click to select the "Set as Application's Main File" check box.
3. On the Add Shortcuts page, add a shortcut for the text file.
4. Click Next on the "List of Registry Values" screen.
5. On the Add Redistributables page, make sure "Microsoft Access Run-Time Version" is not selected. Click Next.
6. Type a name for your application in the "What is the name of your application" box. Click Next twice.
7. On the Specify Disk Image Options page, select the type of disk images you want to create, and then click Finish.
8. Run Setup for your application on any computer.
9. On the Start menu, click Run, and type Regedit in the Open box. Search for the new registry entries using the paths in the "Symptoms" section.
