This is a known issue with the P&D wiz. There was a link to the microsoft knowledge base article in this forum a while ago. It has the
workaround for it in the thread.

vivek, this may not be what you want to hear, but the PDW is NOT a good installer, MS knows this and has for a long time. There are other installers you can use including free ones (like INNO)

If you REALLY REALLY want to use the PDW then we can try to help you, but I tell everyone to avoid it. It is well known for including files that will screw up someone elses system if isntalled on it and have version conflicts like the problem you are having.

I once compiled a VB6 app using PDW in windows XP, and gave it to someone on a 98 machine, and it had included the MSVCRT file (MS Virtual C Run Time) which totally bombed out the 98 machine until i could get a 98 version of that file to put back on his system (he was not happy)
