can't deploy on windows ME

[JennB]

I developed a VB application on windows 2000 and have been able to deploy it on all operating systems except windos me. When I try to deploy it says system files are out of date. what can I do to solve this problem? Please help I need to get this up right away.

Did you create an installation package to deploy your program? (E.g., did you use the Package and Deployment Wizard.) Or did you just copy the program .exe file?

See thread222-534684 if you just copied the executable.

Yes, I created an installation package but the package was created on a windows 2000 computer. When I run the setup.exe it tells me the system files on the computer are out of date. If I just try to run the program exe I get the message that msinet.ocx or one of it's dependencies is not correctly registered which makes sense since I can't run the set up program to register it.

THanks so much for your help.

You might want to check out thread222-514965 as it (very recently) covered a lot of issues and philosophies about installation.

I've never worked with WinME (and from the looks of MSDN, Microsoft has wished it out of existence.) So here's a guess, based on your use of msinet.ocx: try installing Personal Web Server (which is a MS download) on the WinME machine, then reboot and install your program. Based on the info you've given it's what I'd try, but like I said, it's a guess.
