Microsoft Access Runtime Download Links

Archive of download links to every Microsoft Access Runtime release. All download links point to genuine files hosted by Microsoft, with Archive.org links as a fallback.

Have you ever needed to deploy a Microsoft Access app (such as .accdb or .mdb) to a client machine without installing the full Microsoft Access application? If so, you’ll need to ship and install the Microsoft Access Runtime package on the target PC.

According to Microsoft’s website, here’s what Microsoft Access Runtime does:

The Microsoft Access Runtime enables you to distribute Microsoft Access applications to users who don’t have Microsoft Office installed on their computers or a version of Microsoft Office that doesn’t include Access.
The Microsoft Access Runtime includes the Access Database Engine (ADE), which can be used to facilitate the transfer of data between Microsoft Office System files and non-Microsoft Office applications through OLEDB, ODBC, and DAO interfaces.

So besides the runtime itself, the installers below also include the Microsoft Access Database Engine, which is great if you’re shipping a custom application that uses Microsoft Access as its database.

Anyway, feel free to choose whichever Microsoft Access Runtime version suits your needs below.
