    What packaging software did you use to create the installation package?

    Re: Deployment Issue

    Perhaps downloading the vb6 redistributable runtimes from MS and then copy over to a CD for installing on the 2000 system. If it also needs other system files to be updated then do you already have SP-4 installed for 2000? Is there any way of getting it on the net for a Windows Update?

    Re: Deployment Issue

    Also just because you create an installation in XP doesn't mean it will install PROPERLY on other OS's or even on XP itself. There are many, many issues regarding a proper installation that are often overlooked causing other installed applications to fail or even the users system to crash.

    This is inherit with a installation blindly created with PDW without the research... It can also happen with other installations without the research... PDW is just more prone to it.
