    (newbie)Problems Installing VB6 App

    I have made a small app using VB6. I used the "Deployment Wizard" to create the installation files. I don't have any problem install the application but others have. In particular there is one machine running WIN98 that has problems.
    It produces the error "cannot create directory program_files/....."

    It also prompted to replace a lot of DLL files which created problems.

    The machine is not networked and the user has all admin rights.

    Thanks

    It depends on what ocx's and references your app is using. What OS are you creating the package on?

    Re: (newbie)Problems Installing VB6 App

    Well now I am trying to deploy with Inno. It is working better but there is a "run-time error 48 when loading DLL..."

    When compiling my VB app I get a CAB fil, the exe, and a setup.lst. When developing the Ino scriipt I include these. Perhaps I am not setting Inno up correctly.

    It is possible that your application is not compatible with windows 98. Make sure that all your API calls will work in '98.
