Setup error

[riccardo]

Hello everybody.

I've developed an application using VB6, then I create the setup program using the Package & Deployment Wizard.
Then I installed it in several computers, but always the same error message appears: an error occurred while registering the file EXPSRV.DLL.
I tried to close all the applications running, but this error always occurs.
Can someone tell me how can I avoid it?

Thank you very much.

AS far as i remember visual studio service pack 3 fixed that problem.
Install the latest service pack

May be I am out of topic, but:
it is a VBA dll. Have you installed any servicepacks?... You sure you close all programs (I mean: if office is installed, you may find Office fast components in startup folder (="avvio automatico" o "esecuzione automatica"). May be you have to press ctrl+alt+del to see running processes on others pc to see if something of Office is running behind the scenes and bring it down...

Another solution may be to update your machine with recent service pack (if you do not have) and to bring to clients those servicepaks

As I am not sure, let's wait for someone else answer, too.

Ciao!
