    I hope you need to copy the project into a Win98 machine and recompile its exe then make the Package...

    You should compile and pack age your app on a Win98 system as a separate version. Then have another compiled and packaged on an XP ystem. Keep these to to distribute to the appropriate OS platforms.

    Windows 98 almost 10 years old.

    It's VB, you shouldn't need to recompile it for Windows 98. Just make sure you have checks before calling API functions from Win 2000+.
