Microsoft Access Runtime/Developer (XP) - compatibility issue with XP SP2?
I have software that I packaged with Microsoft XP Developer SP1 edition which does not function on Windows XP SP2 systems but ran fine on all prior operating systems.
The wording I am getting when I launch the installer is:
"Visual Basic 6.0 Setup Toolkit"
"The Application you are installing requires updated system components. To continue, install the Office System Pack. For assistance, contact your applicaton provider"
Is there a fix to this or a workaround? I have a large number of users dependent on this package, so I'm quite worried about the application at this point.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
In addition -- when I bundle everything with the package (i.e. Internet Explorer 5.1 and all relevant system files) I get the following error (slightly different):
"Visual Basic 6.0 Setup Toolkit"
"The Office System Pack cannot be installed on this system because it requires Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 6 or later."
Thanks again for any help you can provide.
I'm researching the following incompatbility issue on the KB -

Looks like this may be the solution.
*quick update* It worked! So, this issue affects systems outside of Server 2003 when compiling a runtime project with Office XP Developer. Hope this helps someone in addition to myself.
Hi,
It looks like you were able to work this out, but we'll go ahead and post our support engineer's response in case it helps anyway.
Please ask our buddy to try following steps:
Open the Packaging Wizard folder (i.e. C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office \Developer\Packaging Wizard)
Make a copy of OSPFILELIST.TXT
Open OSPFILELIST.TXT
Delete the entire line for: DBMSADSN.DLL
Save and close the file
Re-package the application and distribute to XP SP2 machines
In additional, I strongly recommend him applying the last service pack of Office and Office XP Developer. If the problem still exists after we go through above steps, please help to provide us a simplest and complete package to reproduce his problem locally. Thank you!
Thank you,
