vb6stkit.dll

another deployment thing...

i am installing my application from one nt 4 machine to the other...but during load files the program gives me an error:

VB6stkit.dll is not a valid Windows NT image

and hence the installation breaks away...there's nthing wrong with the setup file aside from this...what can i do...

and is it possible to completely avoid this dll in the files section of inno...?

Regards,

Farooq

ok for ur help...just found out on inno that if ure using inno setup u don't need to use VB6stkit.dll...

That's why I posted the "minimal requirements" in your other thread.
Called "Begin VB system files"

hey thanks flyguy...i am hoping u could plz help me out of this...i have spent 3 weeks developing the application and now its been a week packaging this entire software...

i managed to get rid of all the errors that were popping up in installation...now the only problem is that when the installation is complete ( i am using inno btw) my application cannot run...

it gives me an automation error...the application doesn't even start!

what's the deal with this? i serioulsy have no idea how to get by this...

Rgds,

Farooq

is it because i am no including runtime files...although i do install mdac on the other comp.
