Package and Deployment problem
Dear Guys,
I am a new VB Programmer. I have developed a saimple database application using some activeX controls. Now I want to distribute my application to some of clients or friends who don't have Visual Basic or other activeX control files are not installed. So I went through Package and Deployment tool and Build a setup file for installation. I am using Windows Xp platform to package the application. Now when I run the setup file on my friends computer on which windows 98 is installed it doesn't. I says "Some of the files on your system are outdated. You need to restart to update the files. Do you want to restart the computer now." As many times I restart the computer I get the same message by which I couldn't install the application. You guys pls tell me what's wrong with my packaged setup file?.

I had that kind of problem before. It was because the computer which I was trying to install didn't finish up the installing the Service Pack 2 update. And for some reason package tool was trying to make sure everything was finished updating. Since the computer had some other problem during the service pack installation it could not finish updating. But it worked in other computer. You might want to check installing in another computer, to make sure its not related to one computer you are installing.
Just a thought. Hope it helps.

Hye guys,
I tried with another computer. It worked fine. But I want to make the installation file 2 run in all OS whether SP are installed or not..
So what should I do for it...
Hye Guys,
That means I cannot package applications I developed in Windows Xp and install (Deploy) it to the system having win2000 prof or win98 Se. So in order to have deployment in such OSs I have 2 package my application once more in win98Se or win2000Prof. Am I right?

Please clarify - are you talking about the Package and Deployment Wizard in Visual Basic 6, Setup and Deployment projects in Visual Studio 2005, or ClickOnce deployment in Visual Basic Express?
