Yes, this seems to be the case.

Quote from the page:

"To resolve this problem, verify that the setup package does not redistribute system files that are newer than the files on the target operating system. To do this, use the following procedures.

Apply the latest Visual Basic 6.0 service pack on the build computer. Beginning with Visual Basic 6.0 Service Pack 4, older versions of required system files are located in the Redist folder on the build computer. When the Package and Deployment Wizard assembles a package, it searches the Redist folder first for dependencies. Therefore, new package builds use the older versions of the required system files that are located in the Redist folder. This way, the package distributes newer versions of the required system files."

My guess would still be that your distributing a version of a file that can't be updated/replaced even on WinXP because it's a protected file.

Exactly.

OK, then I know that I *must* install a service pack.
