I am getting the error "Can not start main set up program" when I try to install my application on a NT server. It works fine when I install it on my computer with windows 98.

Is there something that needs to be done differently when creating the package?

Thanks.
 
Are you running the installation under an Administrator (or equivalent) ID?
 
I am using an administrator ID.
 
Checked the system &/or application logs to see if it's generating a traceable error? Long shot, but you never know
 
Check #123008 (HOWTO: Setup ODBC Data Sources When Distributing Apps) in the Microsoft KB; I think it'll take care of all your problems
