Add-in's complete

Great news, you can now redistribute and use the PDF and XPS add-in with your Runtime solution.
The Runtime's code has not been changed. Your existing runtime solutions can now officially be distributed with the PDF and XPS add-in by chaining the .msi for PDF and XPS into your install process for your app (after the Runtime).

You may copy and distribute the object code form of the add-in listed below together and for use only with the Microsoft Office Access Runtime software, subject to the license terms accompanying the Microsoft Office Access 2007 Runtime software download:

"Microsoft Office Access 2007 provides a rich platform for developing database management solutions with easy-to-use customization tools.

If no end-user customization is required (including report modifications), you can choose to distribute those Access 2007 solutions so that they run without requiring a full installation of Access 2007.

To do so, you must package and distribute your application with the Access Runtime.

The Access Runtime is similar to previous runtimes in that all design-related UI is either removed or disabled.

You do not need to buy any special SKU in order to redistribute the Access Runtime. You can freely redistribute it or point users to this download."

You can use the Package Solution Wizard to include the Access 2007-13 Runtime in your packages and to create shortcuts that start the appropriate Access file. The output of the Package Solution Wizard is a Windows Installer (.msi) Setup file that guides users through the installation of your Access application."
