Office XP Developer error - Needing NT SP 4.0 ver. 6 or later

[mlstewart]

I've packaged a database using Office XP Developer. It installs perfectly on some computers but on a couple of computers it won't install because it says that the user needs NT 4.0 Service Pack 6 or later. Does anyone have any suggestions or know a way around this? I'm a XP Developer beginner so any help will be very much appreciated. THANKS!!

Install Windows NT 4.0 Service pack 6a on the computers that are not quite at that level yet?

I was hoping someone knew a way around this. Both computers that are giving the message are fairly new computers so I was suprised by the message. I was hoping someone knew more about the packaging wizard and knew something I could include when I packaged the database that would prevent this error message.

Thanks for the reply.

My question here is..

Why will someone with a computer with Windows XP that doesn't ever connect to a server need the NT service pack?????

ok, I attempted to download to service pack but it wouldn't let me!!!???

The error message is no doubt a little cryptic. What is the SP level on the XP machines with the problem? These ought to be at least SP1, but SP2 would be better. I don't know if updating the XP O/S will fix your problem, but that's where I would start.

The computers have Service Pack 2 and just today went and installed any windows updates and office updates available.

Thanks!!
