Access Runtime install
I have created a database and I would like to intall the Access Runtime after I have installed the database. I am not sure how to execute the "accessrt.msi" file when installing the database. I have this code so far to install the files in the temp directory:

Section "System" SEC03
SetOutPath "$TEMP"
SetOverwrite ifnewer
File "ACCESSRT.MSI"
File "Office1.cab"
SectionEnd

If the user has Windows installer already loaded, you should be able to run the MSI directly using a simple EXEC command.

However, if you need to specify parameters or would like to use an ExecWait command, you'll need to run MSIEXEC.EXE with the MSI as a parameter.

Search the forums for MSI installs, as the topic has been been brought up quite a few times. This topic might help answer your particular question.
