OK, I am re imaging my development machine to see if I can go from there.  It seems that perhaps all this playing around put my machine in a mess.  A lot of other apps and Windows functions were bombing.
 
I will keep you updated.  Thanks for your assistance

jaysour,
 
You are correct Win2K goes to SP4 and VB to SP6.

jaysour

I guess it is.  Did not realize that
 
I have SP4 installed on this Win2K machine.  Does Windows 2K go up to SP6?  I know VB does, and I have that Service Pack installed.
 
Thanks,
Jason

jaysour,
 
Check that folder name. It is an impossible folder location ('C:Program FilesSystemOLE DBmsdasql.dll').
 
What SP does your Win2K box have installed. If you do not have SP 6 installed that maybe where you are getting the error from.

Ran the Automatic Updater and I got the error below.   I hit OK and it continued all the way through at that point.  I did not have a chance to install the software though.
 
REGSVR: Unable to load 'C:Program FilesSystemOLE DB|msdasql.dll':126: The specified module could not be found.
 
Thanks.

jaysour,
 
Try running the Automatic OS Updater by itself to see if the problem happens there for you do not have this file in your script.

jaysour

OK.  Nevermind the last issue.  I did get the file to work correctly.  Now with the above script, it says it cannot find msdart.dll when it tries to install.
 
Thanks,
Jason

OK .  I cleaned up my vbp and removed some references I was no longer using and did not need.  Created a new script.  Worked fine on a client computer and my development but now it died again on the Win 2K machine.  It says the that Automatic Updater File is corrupt.  The user is administrator also.  Below is my script:

Post your script and we will have a look see. Did InnoScript find the file dataform.ocx and add this to the script?

jaysour

First off I will start with the obvious, very nice product and easy as pie to use.
 
I am having one issue.  I have created this install program for a vb project I am working on.  Tried it on a client computer which was running W2K, and it went flawless except that the user did not have Admin rights on her computer and I set it to be Admin rights.  Quick fix and all was well.
 
Now I did install it on my development maching and all was well also (which I expected).
 
I tried an install on a fresh Win 2K machine with nothing but the MS updates on it.  I try to install on this machine and run into some errors.  Maybe others have seen these
 
1) It is looking to update msdart.dll which it cannot find and throws an error.  I have continued on as well as stopped the install.  Continuing will cause other issues such as not being able to register some dlls.  Not sure if the the two issues are related.
 
2) I have tried to include this file in the build and it says it cannot find the export function for the DllRegisterServer and I read  that this is because it may not have the ability or the need to be registered.  OK
 
3) I then just added the file to be installed but not registered.  It goes through and then I run into problems registering other information and one in particular I see is that it says it Failed in registering dataform.ocx.  
 
So I am not sure if these are separate problems or all related.  If you need more info, let me know. I am at the office and do not have all my files or notes at this time.
 
Thanks,
Jason
 
FYI I am useing the Automatic Updater also in my project which does connect to a backend Access database.
