Package and Deployment Wiz Endless Loop

I created a setup for a program I wrote in VB6 with the the P&D wizard.

When it runs on certian machines it says that there are files that are out of date and it will need to restart before it can run setup again.

After the restart I run setup again and it gives me the same message. This appears to be an endless loop. Any suggestions?

Does your app use MDAC?

Have you ever tried Inno setup?

No it doesn't use MDAC

Also I am checking on Inno now.

I would really like to fix the P&D issue if possible.

Instead of using the package and deployment wizard try using Visual Studio 6.0 Installer. You can get it from Microsoft:
