Package and Deployment

[varshvin]

Sir,
i have developed a hospital management system program which contains around 8 to 10 forms,in which there are several controls like msflexgrid,dblist,combobox,maskedbox,richtextbox, calender control etc.
now the problem is that when i start the package and deployment wizard to create a setup kit
it give two problems
Ist is it gives error called " access violation error" for msvcrt20.dll and asks to ignore or continue.

2nd problem comes when we start installing program it installs the whole setup it even goes to 100% and gives message "setup is updating system registry" and after 2 to 3 seconds gives a errorcalled "setup could not found c:\windows\temp\msftqws\DLLSelfRegisterEx "
and starts uninstalling.
WHAT COULD BE THE PROBLEM?
and how to over come it. please let me know.
thanking u

The second error is related to the first, cause it uses the msvcrt dll. Cause it gives an access violation, it probably isn't included in your package. When running the setup on a system that doesn't already has the dll, an error is most likely to appear.
When creating the install package, make sure to close all other applications that might use tha dll, like the VBIDE. If it keeps giving you the error, try reinstalling the package and deployment wizard. If you don't feel like reinstalling it, try installing the VB runtime libraries on the pc you are installing on.

Good luck
