I have developed most of my apps in W2000 but 2 days ago I got a new PC with XP. Since then I am having problems deploying apps that I have developed previously. I did repackage the spplications in the XP environment. All my apps access SQL server and we are using MDAC 2.7 service pack 1. These particular problem occurs when I run setup on a WIN2000 machine.....

During setup (actually at the first stages of setup), while the DLLs msvcrt and msvbvm60 are being copied, the following message appears....

Setup cannot continue because some system files are out of date on your system. Click OK if you would like setup to update these files for you now. You will need to restart Windows before you can run set up again. Click Cancel to exit setup without updating system files.

Naturally I clicked OK and rebooted the machine. I then run set up again and yet the same message popped up again while it is copying the same 2 DLLs. This is a never ending cycle. I have done it 5 times......HELP

Installing under Windows 98 is worse...it thrashes the system but I fixed that by reading through a previous thread regarding the same problem. However the fix suggested for Win98 did not fix my problem with WIN2000. If I repackage the apps under 2000, it installs fine. PLEASE HELP SOMEBODY.
