With what tool did you generate the setup? Was it with 'Package and Deployment wizard'(PDW), of with 'Windows installer' (WInst)?
PDW produces EXE setup files, which should be able to run on any system. WInst however produces MSI files, which can only be executed on WIN2K systems, or on systems where WInst is installed on. WInst can be downloaded for free from the Microsoft website.

thanx for the response.i have win 2000 system and vb6 installed on my machine.i made setup using package and deployment wizard and after that i used third party software called "package for the web" to make the web installation shield.but the users are unable to down load the application in windows 98.
do you mean to say that setup made with vb6 PDW SHOULD be able to install in any machine? then what may be the exact reason in my case?
can u pls respond.thanx for ur time once again.
regards.
bhaskar reddy.
