Access 97 in Win 7 64 bit
I attempted to install Access 97 ( have to use it due to the applications written in it) in Windows 7 64 bit and apparently because it can't write to the c:\windows\system32 folder the installation fails. I also tried installing it with administrative privileges and it didn't work. I installed it in XP Mode and got the same results.
Initially the installation said that ctl3d32.dll couldn't be installed, then an error saying system.mdw wasn't installed. When I try to create system.mdw using the Workgroup Administrator it fails, probably because it can't write to the /windows/system32 folder.
I am sure this is a common problem but I can't find a solution.
I am a developer so I have a ton of apps to install, but this is the only problem I have with running applications in the 64 bit Windows 7.
Any ideas?
Thanks for your help...
