I get this problem all the time with PDW. There's a good reason it was given 
the nickname 'Package and Destroyer'

After I had the umteenth customer call about my first shareware program that 
I built (about 5 years ago) I gave up on the PDW and found another installer 
to use. After about my 5th program I found someone who was great at making 
custom installers and have used his services since.

My suggestion would be to find a different installer to use. The one with VB 
is really old and isn't very good.

My 2 cents and then some,

Subject: [pro_vb] Problems installing applications made with PDW
Date: Wed, 18 Dec 2002 22:45:06

I built an application using VB6 SP5 and used the Packaging and Deployment
Wizard to package it up. I then tied to install it on an XP system, and
that worked. I tried to install on a NT with service pack 6.0 and Win2K
system, and each time I got the error message "Setup cannot continue
because som system files are out of date on your system." I hit OK to
install the new system files and then rebooted. I then got the infamous
blue screen on both the NT and Win2K systems.

I thought perhaps the Bootstrap files were out of date, so I checked the
builds and they appear to be fine accroding to the VB6 SP5 docs on the MS
site.
VB6STKIT.DLL     6.0.84.50
COMCAT.DLL       4.71.1460.1
ASYNCFILT.DLL    2.40.4275.1
OLEPRO32.DLL     5.0.4275.1
OLEAUT32.DLL     2.40.4275.1
STDOLE.TLB       2.40.4275.1
MSVBVM60.DLL     6.0.92.37

I checked the MS Knowledge Base and did not find anything that seemed to
point to a solution. One article talked about TMP or TEMP folders on a
different hard drive/network drive, but that is not the case here.

If anyone can help, I would really appreciate it!
