Package Installation problem

[Newtester]

Hello everyone,

I created a package for my VB6 application on my computer (Win XP). I used VB6 Package and deployment wizard. Now I took this package folder and tried installing it on 2 different computers running same XP but got the following error on both computer:

File c:\windows\system32\setupapi.dll is in use. Please make sure no other application is using this file and try again. (something like this may not be exact same wordings).

I made sure checked the TASK MANAGER and everything but this file is not in use. Now can anyone please help me on this error?

What could be the problem? I cannot install my application on any other computer now.

Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.

Hello RobDog888,

As I mentioned I am trying to install on machines running the same Win XP as my machine has.

Another thing is that on one of the machines Explorer 7 is installed and on the other machine Explorer 7 was installed and Explorer 6 is installed now. So I think the correct version on Setupapi.dll should be there on the machines. I am referring to the link given by isnoend07.

This might help in diagonosing the problem.

Even though they are both XP doesnt mean they are both the same. There is service packs and Ie versions to consider. Did you actually verify the version of setupapi.dll?

You seem to be using PDW which If I understand it correctly will not replace a file that is in use at installation time and will schedule it to be replaced at the next computer restart. I do know that other installers do that and you would not get that message.
