I would suggest using Visual Studio Installer 1.1 - it creates MSI packages and uses the Windows Installer engine.<br />
It's much better than the VB's Package and Deployment and it is free.<br />
<br />
You can download it from microsoft.com

I am using windows 2000 and vb 6. &nbsp;I made a .exe for my VB project using VB's Package and Development wizard. When i install it on other machines that have Window 2000 it works fine. &nbsp;I get a run-time error (Run-time error &quot;430&quot;: Class does not support Automation or does not support expected interface.<br />
&nbsp;) when i run it on machines with XP. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
I have MDAC 2.8 on my machine (win 2000) and XP should have MDAC 2.8 (is that correct?)...so i dont think that MDAC is my problem.<br />
<br />
<br />
Please help, I have some critical work to be done.<br />
Thank you,<br />

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
