Setup.exe error

16
Dear All,

First of all let me wish u all a very happy new year

now coming back to my problem:

I developed an application in VB6.0. but now when I try to install the application on some other system an error message pops up which says

"setup.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."


I developed the application on Win XP pro with SP2.

can anyone help??

Thanks in Advance

Regards
Nrip

This is in continuation of my post earlier.

I am actually a bit confused about this. I want to know that since i developed my application in Win XP Pro with SP2 , is it necessary for the other machine to have SP2 installed as well to run that application??

Hi there,

The answer is yes. When SP2 is installed some of system files are upgraded, vb uses some of this these system files during compilation. If the other machine doesn't have the updated copy of these system files, you are likely to get some runtime or even compile time errors. Good luck & Take care.
