Office 365 (C2R) installed on Intune Managed Device is remove MSI version of MS Access Database Engine.

Hi guys,

Seeking some help on an issue within our Intune environment. Already deployed Office 365 (C2R) via Intune deployment application and have also installed manually "MS Access Database Engine.exe version 16 or 14 installed side by side. Currently, the MS Access Database engine is getting removed due to how it's apparently designed. The issue here is the team need the "MS Access Database Engine" to do their work from within Microsoft Visual Studio and hit a error with the excel connection manager advising it is not registered when it's being removed. As the MS Access Database Engine disappears daily. We are manually installing the Access Database with the /quiet switch. After an hour the Office C2R installer removes it. Logs in event viewer. Any ideas on how to keep this installed side by side or other suggestions/workarounds? I've tried the Access 2013 runtime that also gets removed. Can I use another version of Office, not the C2R version?

Thanks.
Biren

Hi @BirenPatel-7483,
I suggest you check if the Office 365 configure.xml file contain <RemoveMSI /> element.
You can also provide the configure.xml file here, I'm glad to help you.

Hi emizhang-msft,

Is there a quick way to get the current XML config for the currently deployed version of Office 365 (C2R) this is an application generated directly within Intune using the "Microsoft 365 Apps (Windows 10)" type.

I have accessed the online office customization tool. We have some existing xml configuration in here but not in use.

Here is an example one.

<Configuration ID="77ae9ada-fe63-4093-a288-7347c17630c0">
<Add OfficeClientEdition="64" Channel="SemiAnnual">
<Product ID="O365ProPlusRetail">
<Language ID="MatchOS" />
<ExcludeApp ID="Groove" />
<ExcludeApp ID="Lync" />
<ExcludeApp ID="Bing" />
</Product>
<Product ID="VisioProRetail">
<Language ID="MatchOS" />
<ExcludeApp ID="Groove" />
<ExcludeApp ID="Lync" />
<ExcludeApp ID="Bing" />
</Product>
<Product ID="ProjectProRetail">
<Language ID="MatchOS" />
<ExcludeApp ID="Groove" />
<ExcludeApp ID="Lync" />
<ExcludeApp ID="Bing" />
</Product>
<Product ID="AccessRuntimeRetail">
<Language ID="MatchOS" />
<ExcludeApp ID="Bing" />
</Product>
</Add>
<Property Name="SharedComputerLicensing" Value="0" />
<Property Name="SCLCacheOverride" Value="0" />
<Property Name="AUTOACTIVATE" Value="0" />
<Property Name="FORCEAPPSHUTDOWN" Value="FALSE" />
<Property Name="DeviceBasedLicensing" Value="0" />
<Updates Enabled="TRUE" />
<RemoveMSI />
<Display Level="None" AcceptEULA="TRUE" />
</Configuration>


What is the difference between Full MS Access vs MS Access Runtime vs MS Access Database Engine?
Excel Connection Manager is this only apart of MS Access Database Engine?
