I get the following error message when I start access:



"Required Registry Information is missing and this application

cannot run. Please rerun setup to correct this problem"



I have done the install 4 times using the defaults every time with

no success.



Virus scan is disabled, no applications are running during the install.

Am not connected to a SQL Server during the install.



Any ideas?



TIA

This comes from the ReadMe file that comes w/A2K--maybe it's relevant?
