    Post Error during setup

    Hi,

    I get the following error.

    Version used:
    VB Run time files: vbrun60sp5.exe
    MDAC version: 2.0
    Tested on: Windows 2000 Professional
    OS Service Pack: 4 (latest)

    Setup is working fine in win 98 and giving problem in win2000

    When I run the setup.exe, created by me, I get the following message,
    "Setup cannot continue because some system files are out of date on your system. Click OK if you would like setup to update these files for you now. You will need to restart windows before you can run setup again. Click cancel to exit setup without updating system files."

    I still get the same error message after rebooting.

    Package and deployment wizard is used to create the setup file.

    Visited Microsoft site and followed the resolutions they have given.

    Any suggestions will help me.

    Welcome to the Forums.

    Did you create yor package on the 98 system?
    Windows 2000 is a different Kernal and you should create a separate package
    for NT Kernal platform. Package on your 2000 system if possible.

    Ps. you shouldnt post your email because the bots and crawlers wil get it and
    send you lots of spam.

    iswariak,

    The short quick cheat is use the Automatic OS Updater Before you run your install.

    The long answer suggest that you not use PDW. Look Here: Installer Problems

    Or use another installer like Inno.

    If you have to use PDW, then when you make the installer on win 2k it will work on all windows.

    But, I would suggest using Nullsoft Installer. I find it to be the best, plus free.
