Microsoft access database engine 2016 download 64 bit rendering Access unopenable
George_Hepworth That's correct, I downloaded https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=54920 The Access version is Microsoft Access for Office 365 MSO 32-bit. The application itself fails to open. When the database engine is installed the following error message appears:
18023305 You have issues with Registry....BAD...you have to find the Registry keys that are lacking permissions...not an easy task ...but doable with https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/procmon
tsgiannis I have no idea how to do that?
AdnanObeid I must say is far from being easy ....i recap ...
IF you installed an Access runtime and you get registry errors then you have problematic registry that means that reg keys have wrong permissions.
First things first
Take a complete image of your system...i don't mean simple Windows backup...i mean bare metal image using a tool like Aomei Backupper, Macrium Reflect, Acronis...the list goes on
You can try uninstalling everything related to Access...just google it
Repeat installation
If everything fails probably you have to reinstall everything...
