    [setup installers]

    hi there

    i ahve created an exe program which needs follwoing dlls

    1) capicom.dll
    2) comcat.dll
    3) asycfilt.dll
    4) msvbvm60.dll
    5) oleaut32.dll
    6) olepro32.dll
    7) vb6stkit.dll
    8) riched32.dll


    and the following ocx controls

    1) comdlg32.ocx
    2) mscomctl.ocx
    3) richtx32.dll
    4) tabctl32.ocx

    using the make command in vb i have created an exe file
    and by using the package and deployment wizard i am tryongto create a setup .. which also got created successfully

    the created setup fles works fine when installed on my pc
    winxp sp2 with vs and vs.net 2002 both istalled

    now i gave the s/w for peer reviews and the thing is some peole could install the software and worked on it well

    but on some pcs it keeps on giving a msg that it needs updating some files even when yes/ ok is given the same msg pops up repeatedly

    i need to know that apart frm capicom here does any other dlls/ocx files needs certain support on user pcs

    if so do i need to change some things or use a diiferent setup createor

    any ideas on which setup creater /installer i should use
    thnx

    Yes, that is a bug in the P&D Wiz.

    usually when you run the installer, it checks for the file versions...it will prompt if the version of a same file differs...

    let it allow to update the files, when prompted, then only your software will work correctly...

    if this doesnt help, post the exact error msg you are getting in your peer systems...

    I'd bet a millon dollar that you are using PDW.... Try using Inno Setup and the Third Party tools. Check my signature for them...
