Hi, Martin
Probably the same problem that David is experiencing. It may be
msvcrt.dll, or it could be other files. Hard to tell now that you did a
manual install. If you have not installed at least SP5, that could also be
part of the problem. The PDW has a lot of fixes and enhancements added
since original release.
Was this a one shot install, or will you need to do more of them for the
same project? If the latter, rebuild the distribution after making the
changes I suggested and try it on a system that does not currently have
your app or VB6 on it.
Hope this helps,
John Eikanger

| Hi all,
|
| Yesterday I had to install on a pc with Windows XP Professional, but it
| didn't have the latest service packs and updates. So just to be on the
safe
| side I compiled my program on a Win2K machine and created the setup with
the
| Package and Deployment Wizard.
|
| With the CD I go to the client and run setup. Setup starts by copying 59
| files and then tells me that some system files are outdated and need to be
| upgraded. I click [Yes], and then it tells me that I need to restart. I
| click [Ok] and the PC restarts.
|
| Then setup copies 7 files and then tells me that some system files are
| outdated and need to be upgraded. I click [Yes], and then it tells me
that I
| need to restart. I click [Ok] and the PC restarts.
|
| Then setup copies 7 files and then tells me that some system files are
| outdated and need to be upgraded. I click [Yes], and then it tells me
that I
| need to restart. I click [Ok] and the PC restarts.
|
| Then I gave up and installed the whole thing manually.
|
| What is going wrong here???
