there are two access runtimes provided by microsoft.
a x86 and x64 version – unfortunately a x64 runtime version can’t open 32bit mde-files and vice versa.
What is the easiest way to detect which runtime is installed?
My favorite way is asking the registry.
The way described here doesn’t work, because access-runtime doesn’t create the outlook registry key.
I solved my problem on this way:
from registry HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\Access.Application.14\shell\Open\Command
from the default key i get the path to the msaccess.exe (Version 2010).
then i open that file with the ImageLoad function.
in the returning structure i read the machine field.
LOADED_IMAGE.FileHeader.FileHeader.Machine
