•	Dbmsadsn.dll
•	Msxml.dll
•	Dbnmpntw.dll
•	Sqloledb.dll

Microsoft Data Access Components 2.8 (also known as MDAC 2.8) is included with Windows Server 2003. Windows Data Access Components 6.0 (also known as Windows DAC) is included with Windows Vista. MDAC 2.8 and Windows DAC do not include the Dbmsadsn.dll file for the AppleTalk Net-Library.

To work around this problem, delete the line that contains the Dbmsadsn.dll file from the Ospfilelist.txt file. Then, change “All” to “9x” in the fourth column of the lines that contain the Msxml.dll file name, the Dbnmpntw.dll file name, and the Sqloledb.dll file name. Then, create the Access 2002 runtime deployment package. To do this, follow these steps:

1.	Locate the Packaging Wizard folder on the computer where the Access 2002 runtime deployment package was created. By default, the Packaging Wizard folder can be found in the following location: Installation_Drive:\Program Files\Microsoft Office Developer\Packaging Wizard
2.	Start Notepad, and then open the Ospfilelist.txt file. Note Make a backup copy of the Ospfilelist.txt file.
3.	In the Ospfilelist.txt file, locate and then delete the line that contains the Dbmsadsn.dll file.
4.	In the Ospfilelist.txt file, locate the three lines that contain the Msxml.dll file name, the Dbnmpntw.dll file name, and the Sqloledb.dll file name. Change the fourth column of each line from “All” to “9x.”
5.	On the File menu, click Save.
6.	On the File menu, click Exit.
7.	Create the Access 2002 runtime deployment package again by using the Packaging Wizard.
8.	Install the Access 2002 runtime deployment package on the computer that is running Windows Server 2003, Windows XP SP2, or Windows Vista.
