Hi all,
Main reason for us to move from installing 2010 Access driver to 2016 driver was to address potential vulnerability issues. In a current world many organizations go through vulnerability acceptance tests and do analysis which open source and 3rd party libraries are installed with a product.
Office 2010 driver from Microsoft requires VS 2008 Runtime libraries and some vulnerabilities tests flag it as a very old version of Visual Studio and that triggered our switch to a new version of the driver.
We are looking into making some installer changes to make a process less painful for our users.
Regards,
Andrei

If, after installing MIPro 2019.1 and the Access 2016 engine, alongside a 32 bit installation of MS Office, you get the messages that Word, Access, etc., is corrupted or needs to be repaired, etc., please try the following:
Open Registry (regedit)
Locate this key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Common\FilesPaths.
If there is a mso.dll value, either delete it or rename it.
After deletion or Renaming the registry, then refresh the Registry and try to execute Word, Excel, Access again and check if it's working.
Let us know if that works.
We did some investigation and found this seems to resolve it. Let us know if you find otherwise.
Regards,
-Bill

There was previously a post (probably about 2 years ago) about the proper steps to install the Microsoft components, and I successfully had 32 bit Office working alongside 32 bit and 64 bit MapInfo Pro, but 2019.1 has broken some of my Office apps (notably MS Project, which will no longer start).
Unfortunately, the old post is no longer available, and searching this forum I was only able to find posts that link back to the old article that no longer exists. It was at:
How to resolve errors when opening Excel files in MapInfo Pro 64-bit (LINK NO LONGER WORKING)
I will see if I can recreate the instructions/process from memory and post back here.

Hi there,
just upgraded my MiPro 2019 installation with the new 2019.1.
The upgrade installed MS Access 2016 64-Bit dbEngine and now I'm unable to open any MS-Access db with MS Access, - and MS Access doesn't start as well.
A Quick repair of MS-Office didn't solve the problem and the online repair revealed, that the installation now has a problem and cannot be repaired!
Before that installation, MiPro worked with ms access and ms access was working standalone too.
Any suggestions how to solve this without installing all software again?
Thanks and regards
Stefan
