The package and deployment wizard is a piece of crap. I've had good success with Inno setup. Before that the only way I was able to work with the wizard was to do as microsoft recomments: create the setups on a dedicated PC. This PC has windows, VB, MDAC and nothing else (except any required software to use your network). This box has the same windows version, service pack and MDAC version that your program is going to be installed on. If you're installing to multiple versions of windows, for example, XP and Win2K then you need multiple dedicated PCs for building setups. Yes it's a pain, but it's less of a pain trying to figure out why the setup won't work.
