I made a setup for a vb application but whenever I start it I am getting the message:"
C:\Winnt\setup.lst
Invalid line in setup information file
section: setup1 files
'name of the file'"

I analysed setup.lst but couldn't find anything that might look wrong. I tried to change the order of the files in section: setup1 as well as I reinstalled the operating system (in order to have 'clean' machine) but there was no progress. Could anyone help me, it's really urgent! Thanks in advance!
 
Setup1 files are the system files, that are usually transfered in system32 directory. Probably the error ocurrs when your setup finds an older version of some dll and tries to overwrite it while the dll is still in memory.

Try this:
1. delete all files from the deployed kit, also the .PDM file from the same directory with the .VBP file. Rebuild your kit.

2. when you star your setup , stop all other applications, including the ones in systray.

Hope this helps,s-)
