i have an application developed using visual basic 6 sp4. i used the package and deployment wizard of visual studio. i was able to create the deployment package using a winXP sp2 OS. when i was trying to install it on a win2K server this error appeared:

"Setup cannot continue because some files are out of date on your system. Click OK if you would like setup to update these files for you now. you will need to restart windows before you can run setup again. Click cancel to exit setup without updating system files."

being a good follower, i clicked ok and waited, then another message appeared saying there is a need to reboot the system, and i did so. after the reboot, i ran the setup again and the same error message above appeared again. tried it again but it still didi not work. apparently my friends who develop and package in a WinXP OS have the same problem. what we did was to package the program in win98 or win2k. is there something wrong with VS6 running in winXP that it cant support lower OS versions? can anyone help me. i would like to be able to make a single package that will run on all OSs made by microsoft. winXP downward and win98 upward. tnx in advance.
