Dang. Oh well, I'll keep looking for more leads on potential fixes.

Hi,

I went ahead and installed the package (for 32-bit, it wouldn't let me install 
the 64-bit version because I only have 32-bit Office installed).  The 
installation completed OK.

However, when I went to export a gdb, I got the exact same error as before, so 
this did not fix the problem, unfortunately.

Best,
Kam
