Application to install access runtime if access not on system then open database in same folder.

Hi, firstly I'm not sure if this can be done?

We currently have an 2003 access mdb application that we need to distribute on cd.

The database needs to open and run automatically when the cd is inserted, the issue is that I would like to install access 2007 runtime only when the user doesn't have access 2003 or 2007 or an existing runtime version installed on their system. We have had issues installing the 2007 runtime on machines that already have access installed on them. It is causing issues when other databases are opened.

What I'm after is some sort of small vb installer application to go on the cd that automatically runs, checks for an access installation (normal version or runtime), if it exists then open the database on the cd normally. Otherwise give the user a message about Access not being on their system and give them the option of running the [url removed, login to view] application that will also be on the cd, and then open the database.

So the cd will contain the following files Trial [url removed, login to view], [url removed, login to view], InstallerApplication(what you create).

There are also two other folders (Photos, Documents) which the database interacts with(you don't need to worry about)

**

EDIT: After receiving messages from a few coders I have been advised not to use .net just in case the users machine doesn't have the .net framework installed. I'm fine with the solution being designed with an installer package or something else just as long as the runtime isn't installed everytime the cd is loaded or even installed if they already have access 2003 or 2007 on their machine, in that case i would want it to neatly open up the database on the cd.**
