I need help with a setup program - VB 6. I installed my application on a Win XP machine but it failed to complete the setup citing failure to register one of the dll files which come with Crystal Reports.
I ran the same setup file on different machines running Windows 2000 and Windows XP and it installed successfully!
Currently when i try to load it on the XP machine it gives me the following error and it aborts installation:
"Error: Cannot start main setup program! (CreateProcess() returned error code 0x000000C1H)".
There is also the following line in the ST6UNST file in the Windows/System folder: "Now spawning the main setup program 'setup1.exe' and continues with that error message above.
What should i do to fix the problem and install the application on that machine.
 
Does Crystal Reports alread reside on this machine?
What installer are you using? I recommend Inno Setup, and Inno Script. You can find links to both at

I thought so and i installed Crystal Reports 9 on the machine but the error persisted even after then. About Inno setup i have the program but i do not know how to use it!
