Ive just finished a project that has a small yet scattered distrobution and stumbled across what every programmer loves to hear, the install crashed several machines!(about a 50/50 crash to ok ratio)
i believe i pinpointed the problem, im using a browser control in the project and im using wise to install it. The problem is that the project existed before i got to it and the wise script had already been done and worked, but when i added the broswer conrol, i noticed it used shdocvw.dll in the components menu so i figured i would have to add that to the install script and did.
BAM! crashes on about 50% of the computers. installs fine, asks you to reboot and when you boot back up it gives you explorer errors (keep in mind that i havent actually reproduced this here, but i guess thats becuase im replacing the file with the same one off my HD).
i found this page on ms's site and its the same error my useres are getting so i tend to believe this is the problem:

So, what files does the browser control need to work on all win9X platforms?

The WebBrowser control requires Microsoft Internet Explorer (I beleive 4.0+) to be installed on the client PC.

Use the dependency walker
Maybe you could use the dependency walker (Depend in the VB6 tools menu) on the OCX or DLL so you can see what other files are required. It's a long shot.
You can also make a dependency file with Package and Deployment Wizard of VB6, maybe some files (or errors) show up which can help you.
