Compatibility Question: changing a compiling PC from Win 98SE to Win XP Pro

I've been maintaining a VB6 app that was fielded around 2000 and was
originaly compiled with VB SP4 on a Windows 98SE machine. As my clients
have switched to newer OSs, the VB app keeps running fine.

The app's installation package was created years ago with the DP Wizard.
However, the fielded app is "self-updating" in the sense that it copies
newer .EXEs and .DLLs from the network server to the user's PC before it
starts up. I have not changed the DP's installation package, but I do
periodicaly distribute updated .EXEs and .DLLs that have been compiled on
the Win 98SE machine.

Now the Windows 98SE machine has become unstable. I'm setting up a new PC
with Windows XP Pro and I would like to install VB6 (up to SP4) and my
Jet35, Apex, Sheridan, and Crystal components. Assuming I keep VB and
third-party tools the same as what I have on the Win 98SE machine, will
..EXEs and .DLLs compiled on the new Win XP Pro machine be compatible with
the the ones originally distributed via the DP intsallation package?

Thanks for your help,
Allen Anderson
