I have read it now and found it very interesting. The following is an extract that may be useful to other users too.

You created an installation on Windows XP and deployed it to Windows 98. A file named MSVCRT.DLL is included in the setup program. This file is installed on Win 98 replacing the one included with Win 98. This will be allowed since the Win XP file is newer than the one on Win 98. Now this file cannot be used by Win 98 causing the system to act unpredictable and may even crash. Now you have just taken out your clients computer. What have you got to say for yourself now?... It wasn't me???

Generally you should not deploy any files that were installed with the operating system... Let Microsoft's Service Packs do that. So be careful and be sure of what you put into your installation to deploy.
For that reason I believe that, since VB5 basic runtime files are installed with the operating system, they should not be distributed together with your app. Please note that I am not referring to OCX's such as MsFlexGrid.
