    Try Inno Setup combined with **********. The reasons why your package only runs in XP are explained here Installation Problems

    What DB driver are you referring too?

    I believe in PDW you can't run a process that PDW wasn't programmed to run and you would need to work over the source code to get it to work the way you want. But then again you would then have two projects...

    You dont as the PD Wiz detects your references and includes MDAC for you.

    What errors do you get on the systems that the package doesnt run?

    Yes, But that won't help totally if he is setting up for mySQL or other DB's that need the client installed.

    Of course if he is using Access 97 he need to install MDAC 2.0 and the Jet SP's
