Come to think of it, both programs I've tested that gave me the MS Office pop-up were using Winsock. One of the two is a (commercial) program I wrote myself and does not use any Office component. I have not had a single report of this problem from the thousands of users, so I guess it's something "special" on this computer alone.
I will investigate further.

We've recently had something like that happen to several people, although the.
program it wanted to install was different.
When running some of our VB programs, or even running the VB IDE to edit the programs, we would get
one of these "Please wait while windows configures...." messages. But in this case the program it
wanted to configure was Rational ClearQuest.
This didn't happen with every VB program. This common element seemed to be that it
only did it on programs that used the Winsock control.
Just as in your case, hitting 'cancel' several times would allow things to proceed.
Anyhow, the program seemed be with the ClearQuest installation. Uninstalling ClearQuest and re-installing
it made the problem go away.
Don't have a clue why VB was effected in this way, but my experience suggests that perhaps
uninstalling and reinstalling Office might fix the problem.

Your VB5-VB6 app. implements any type of Office work, Excel for example is
very popular to work with with VB app.
If you then accepts all default settings when doing your PDW installation
package; meaning you're adding Excel.exe as part of your installation package.
now, you are well suited to see these Office configuration dialog......
Solution: redo your PDW package and remove any office item from the list of
drivers to be included in the setup.
Remove the app. from the target machine and install the new corrected setup.
PS, and like Mike mention, When office is intalled on a PC it needs to set
some initial values for every new user account, this is trigged when first
starting any of the office items, however, my experience is that Office 2000
is worse than Office 2003 on this subject.
I've seen VB6 app trigger the configuration routine alot on Office2000
machines and hardly at all on Office 2003 machines.

My sister's computer has a problem I have never seen before. Whenever
she installs a program written in VB5 or VB6, and then tries to run it,
she gets a popup windows saying:
"Please wait while Windows configures Microsoft Office Professional
Edition 2003"
The window displays a progress bar and after a while, a popup appears
with the message:
"Installation Error: File Not Found
A required installation file SKU111.CAB could not be found."
It then continues to ask for the MS Offices Professional Edition 2003
CD. If you cancel, the window "Please wait..." window appears again.
After cancelling for 4-5 times, the program starts and works just fine.
What could be the problem?
