Any one helpppp......INSTALLING VB APPLICATION.

[NewToVB]

I have developed a VB6 project with Crystal Reports 8. It works fine in every aspect, which is fine, but when it comes to installing it on my users computers I am getting an error(I have created the .CAB files and SETUP file using the Package and Deployment Wizard)
" *** ERROR: The file 'C:\TEMP\msftqws.pdw\$(DLLSelfRegisterEx)' could not be registered because it was not found.
*** ERROR: (User Responded with 'OK') "

The installation terminates after I get the above message, I dont know What am I doing wrong as I am not using this "MSFTQWS.PDW", and I dont know where it is getting into my setup package.


ANY HELP IS GREATLY APPRECIATED.....Thanks in advance.

It sounds like the templates for the pdw is corrupt.

Is there anything that I should do to fix it??? I have tried installing in multiple computers and I got the same error.....

Did you try including the file it wants in your deployment package and see what happens?

Just a thought

I could not even locate the file "MSFTQWS.PDW" on my development machine either

 

[jofarrell]

I can't on mine either. I am trying to see if I can find out what that file is used for. Any passwords at all on yyour database? What type of database are you using?

I am using MSACCESS, and there ae no password needed to connect to the database.

I don't know but have you tried reinstalling vb or getting VB SP5? Brad,

In Setup.lst simply delete the line wich request registration of MSFTAWS.PDW. I Had the same Problem. I don't know why Package and Deployment Wizard (PDW)create this line, so i simple delete this line in Setup.lst
