Problems installing VB6 program onto other computers...

Hi,

I've made a program in VB6, with ADO and an Access database.
Now I've made a setup program with the package deployment wizard to install the program on other computers.
When I start the setup on a windows 2000 system, It starts with copying 7 files and then gives the message:
   "Setup cannot continue because some files are out of date on your system.Click
   OK if you would like setup to update these files for you now. You will need to
   restart Windows before you can run setup again."
So I click OK, restart the system and run the setup again and It just gives me the same message everytime...

Are you running setup from an account with the appropriate level of access (Administrator) Are you logging into the same account when the computer restarts Might also check to make sure there are no conflicts between the current pc and your program's dependencies.

Nope, It still won't work. It's the setup of the mdac that causes the problem. If I try to install mdac 2.0 separatly then I get the same message over and over again.
I'm gonna try installing VB6 on every pc and then try again...

If you download the service pack 6 for VB and the service pack upgrade for mdac you won't have this problem anymore. You can get them from:

Yep, user rights are OK, everytime administrator login.
Found an article about it, maybe It has something to do with the mdac version. I'll give it a try tomorrow.
Let's pray that will do the trick...

In the mean time, feel free to post other tips..
