    This is frustrating...

    Ok. I've developed my application under W2k and I have run the P&D wizard to create my installation files.

    When I go to install my application on an NT4 sp4 I get an error from the setup program telling me that some of my files are out of date and that it will update them.

    When I restart, though, and run Setup again I get the same error.

    I guess I could build my app on an NT or 98 system and then it should work but is there anyway to make it work with the w2k build?

    Thanks...

    I had a similar problem.
    I once developed a game in Win2k, and then tried to run it on Win98. It run like crap!
    So my advice is: only use your win2k apps on win2k!!

    The problem is that the app is the backend server portion of the system I'm developing so it HAS to run on NT.

    I've installed the whole thing before on W98 without problems so...

    Any other ideas?

    Well... I installed VB on the NT server in question and then the setup program ran fine. I guess it's just a matter of some of the VB files being newer than what was on the NT server previously...

    Frustrating but what are you gonna do...
