    Unexpected setup error

    Hi,

    I have a application written in VB 6 on a windows XP machine, i make a installable using setup & deploy wizard. The application has some text files and a few graphic files to be used which i have included in the package and it shows me those file in the install package as well.

    The problem is on one of my client machine which as Windows XP, version 5.1 Service Pack 2, when i try to install this application it says an "An Unexpected Setup Error has occured." There is no significant message in the log neither is it giving any error number. It basically gives error while copying one of the text files. Really not sure whats wrong, need this sorted urgently and would request a helping hand from you VB Gurus.

    Regards

    That doesn't seem like enough information to go on. "Unexpected" certanly means unexpected I suppose if setup can't give an error number or more detailed description.

    Have you tried reading through support articles like those returned by:

    A different method (I use) is to have the files in a resource file and the are only extracted if they do not exist. You don't need to include them in your setup.
