Hello,

I have developed a prototype software of a card game I have developed. The intent was to pass the software around for free and get people interested as well as gain valuable feedback and demographics for the bank. Anyway, I completed the beta and created a Setup - Package Deployment for the software. On my computer, it works fine, but so far all of my friends can not install it. I have discovered another computer with XP that had an error you could ignore which allowed full installation of the software. Does anyone have any ideas on what I could be doing wrong or what I could change?

Thanks and Love in Christ,
Pat

I'm far from an expert, but I'll offer some things to try.

Add to the directory (that you install the program to) the VB .dll for you vb6 (is it vbrun60.dll?) as part of your install.

Does any of your code need registering? That can get fouled up sometimes on the various OS's.

Make sure all of the VB6 settings for generating the install set appropriately.

Make sure your friends aren't running any other program on their PC when installing.

I'd be glad to try it on these OS's for you:
Win98
WinME
Win2K

Just upload it to a web or ftp site, unless it is small, then you can Email it to me at graceworks@bigfoot.com

May God solve this quickly!

Hiya,

I have ME and 98 that I can try it on, if need be.

MakoGen: I answered your question in the "3D Engines" topic

It is the same company and probably has some of the same stuff. But as far as the setup, I don't know.
