Method 1: Follow the steps below and check if it helps.

4. In the folder list, right-click the Temp folder and then click Properties and then click the Security tab.
   
5. Click the Edit button and on the next screen click Add.
   
6. On the next screen, in the large text window type Everyone and then click Check Names - Everyone should then be underlined.
   
7. Check the box for Full control under the Allow column, and then click OK, then OK again, and OK again to close all the windows.
   

Method 2:

Unregister and re-register the Windows Installer.



a. ClickStart, click Run, type “msiexec /unregister” (without quotes), and then clickOK. Even if you do this correctly, it may look like nothing occurs.

b. ClickStart, click Run, type “msiexec /regserver” (without quotes), and then clickOK. Even if you do this correctly, it may look like nothing occurs, or you may briefly see an hourglass. After you run this command, the operation is complete.

c. Try to install the programs you wish to install and check.

BUT IT WONT RESOLVE!

Also checked system variables are OK

SYSTEM has Full Control to the following folders as well as their subfolders and files:

C:\Windows\Installer

C:\Windows\Temp

Recover access database

Did you try this yet? http://support.microsoft.com/kb/283849

Run the Compact and Repair utility. To do so, follow these steps:

• If the database is open, close it.
• On the Tools menu, point to Database Utilities, and then click Compact and Repair Database.
• In the Database to Compact From dialog box, select the file that you want to compact, and then click Compact.
• In the Compact Database Into dialog box, enter a new file name, and then click Save.
  
  If the compact and repair does not succeed, you will receive a message stating so. This means the damage is so severe that it cannot be corrected.

 

Access database error "Unable to open connection to database" in Windows 10 only

Thank you for your suggestions. I did both steps as indicated but had the same result.

I have Quickbooks 2015 which apparently also uses the access database and it works correctly on the Windows 10 machine. Not sure if this information helps or not.
