    First of all, make sure they didn't have any third party software that may block your setup from updating system files on their PC, or any setting that may result in restoring their system files and discard any changes. Ex. DeepFreeze, etc.

    Second, make sure you didn't supply any outdated files into newer system, ex. files from Win98 into WinXP, as it may cause your system not to works anymore.

    Beside that, I've never got into such a problem before.

    Good luck

    You definitely seem to be missing some dependencies and possibly deploying bad dll's.

    Don't use VB's Package & Deployment Wizard as your installer. Try something else like Inno Setup, Install Creator, etc.

    You might try making sure you have the most recent VB6 Service Pack as well.

    It's the same problem all over again... You need to deploy the correct VB runtime files with your app.

    Re: Can't continue setup.exe

    Hmm, this looks like the old "deploying non-redist libraries" problem. See:

    PRB: Your Computer Does Not Restart After You Install a Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 Application That Includes a MSVCRT.dll File

    You receive multiple "System files are out of date" error messages when you install a Visual Basic 6.0 application

    ... and other KB articles about this.


    One way to address this in the future is by updating VB6DEP.INI appropriately. See INFO: PDW [Do Not Redistribute] Section of VB6DEP.INI
