I'm getting two errors when I package a program using Visual Studio Installer.
-One or more files in OLEAUT32.msm have different versions than those installed on this machine.
-Neither a merge module nor dependency information could be found for c:\windows\system\crviewer.dll
Where can I get an updated version of OLEAUT32.msm and fix the missing dependency for crviewer.dll?
Thanks in advance.
Two fine errors and many more to come!!
I was drawn to Visual Studio Installer cos of its nice interface and ease of use.
I was drawn away Visual Studio Installer cos it was so unreliable... I couldn't gaurantee how much of my software it would actually install.
Give up on it and use another installer...or use something like BitArts Fusion which will do away with the need for an installer in most cases...it complies all the requires dlls and ocxs with your program into one compressed exe file.

I'm not sure if I want to buy packaging software when I can use some freebies.
Fair enough. I'll admit it's expensive but Fusion is worth the cash if you've got enough going spare.
I partially fix my problems, I found the crviewer.dep file and copied to the windows\system folder. I still need an OLEAUT32.msm update for visual studio installer.
Try to get the latest Service Pack from microsoft.. this might help you.
it should be located at this url:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/sp/vs6sp3/vsfixes.asp
also you can use this freebie from microsoft which should be compatible with your VS. its called Visual Installer.

Hope that this will help you.

I recieved some of the same error when using visual sutdio installer. I just compiled the installer anyway and everything seemed to work fine. I says that there are different versions, I think it means earlier version from other things windows installer has installed????
If you find out anything then let me know, thanks.
The reason I get that version problem is because I installed mdac 2.5 over mdac 2.1. Visual Studio Installer I think comes with version 2.1 and I'm trying to find the .msm updates for the Installer.
Before I use the application setup file created I just run the MDAC 2.5 setup on the client to prevent any problems.
I already had the service pack 3 installed.
Thanks for the help I'll see if I can find the update under the fixes.
