Installation Conflict

[omoba123]

I have created a installation program but when I load it on a Windows XP system that has up-to-date updates, the computer reports that a malicious file was found and deleted. Also I had a friend download it on his computer, once he opened it his antivirus program said the program was a virus and cleaned out all the setup files.

How do I prevent this from happening? Is there something I can do during packaging of maybe in the program.

My thinking is this, if I can download an exe package from trusted sites and XP does it see it as a virus then that means I can make my program not look like a virus too.

Also I would like to say thanks to those that helped with the 429 ActiveX Error. Problem I guess was because I didnt have any Service Pack installed once I installed VB SP6 everything works fine.

429 ActiveX Error does means that you haven't deployed everything you need. The fact that you installed SP6 and the app worked confirms that.

Your computer probably has a virus and that is the problem it just attaches itself to your installation program. The only thing you can do is get a decent virus removal program and clean your computer.

What installer package are you using anyway?
