    Resolved [RESOLVED] VB6 - Deploying COMCTL32.OCX and MSSTDFMT.DLL

    This files are not included in my package, and this wasnt a problem in WinXP, but, for testing this package in win2k I did a clean install of Win2k (only OS) and then installed my package on it. Result: after installing, the program cannot run because it needs these 2 files, then i took those files from my WinXP HD, register them and the program worked fine. but, which is the correct deployment for this files?
    Also, my program uses comctl32.dll (MS Common Controls 5) but im not deploying it, according to MS advice.

    What did you use to deploy your app? You need to deploy the version for the OS that you are installing upon.

    Im using Inno setup, and im trying to make a generic package, not one for each OS.

    You will still need to put conditional installation instructions for each OS. Since you will need different files they all will need to be packaged in the installation.

    Rather than what?
