This is not a progrmaing question, but I am sure MS Access developers will soon hit this problem

Situation : PC has MS Office 365 Installed (Home or small Business version) which does not include MS Access 2016.

Try : Instating MS Access Runtime 2016.

Problem : Access runtime installation gives error saying, cannot install same conflicting application.

Question : Is there any way we can install both MS Access runtime 2016 and Office 365?

I develop Access front ends, which I then compile (.accdr) and distribute to my users. Users does not have MS Access installed on their PC. They just have Access Runtime.

My current temporary solution : Ask users to install Access runtime 2013 instead of 2016.

Note: All the office versions are 32 Bit (X86)

Note for Office Click-to-Run (C2R) users:

As stated in the past, Office C2R and MSI of the same major version cannot be installed side by side. Currently, if you are using Office/Access 2016 C2R, we recommend that you install Access 2013 Runtime MSI if you need a side-by-side setup. The two versions are functionally equivalent, and this installation should work smoothly.

So yes, 2013 is the solution.
