Default Access 2007 database on Windows Vista and Windows 7

I created a database using Access 2007. I am going to distribute it as a
runtime application using the Access 2007 runtime engine. The problem is
that engine is only supported up to Windows XP SP2. What do I need in order
for my database to run on PC's with Windows Vista and Windows 7? Is there a
version of the runtime engine that will work with those operating systems?

Default Access 2007 database on Windows Vista and Windows 7

Access 2007 runtime works on XP (SP2 or SP3), Vista and Windows 7 (I
believe).
I think Microsoft just didn't update the web page to indicate that it works
on Windows 7 (maybe it's not officially tested on windows 7)?

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...n#Requirements

My two cents,
Mark

I misread the download page for the 2007 runtime engine. Now I see that it
is supported on Vista. Now I just need to know if it is supported on Windows
7.

I know I use it on Windows 7 and it works fine from my experience. Don't
know about any kind of official support.

for Microsoft Office in general they say "or later operating system)
