Access 2002 (XP) runtime installation on Window Vista

If you build a setup package using Access XP Developer Packaging wizard and try to install it on Windows Vista PC – you will get a message "The Office System Pack cannot be installed on this system because it requires Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 6 or later". There is a KB article 837150 which mention this error, but steps to fix the problem does not work for Vista.

In order to fix this you need to remove 4 lines in Ospfilelist.txt file which starts with:

DBMSADSN.DLL
MSXML.DLL
DBNMPNTW.DLL
SQLOLEDB.DLL

See KB article 837150 for more details how to locate Ospfilelist.txt file.
