My MinVersion=4.0,4.0sp4 and I have downloaded the Automatic OS Updater (32 MB).
I have the Automatic OS Updater included, but have no idea what it affects or what it includes.  I assume that the Updater covers all version of windows and contains files that are safe for the respective OS.

jimyab,
 
The possible reason they were removed is that those files are already on your destination system which will have the correct version for it OS. Now being that the case it would be foolish to overwrite these files with ones that do not belong.
 
You do not need to deploy files that will already be on the destination system. Now if these files were put there by a service pack then that is what needs to be deployed.
 
Try deploying the Automatic OS Updater with your app. It will deploy any MDAC, DCOM and JET files needed for the OS that you are going to deploy to.
 
You can tell InnoScript to do this automatically by checking the Automatic OS Updater check box on the Parameters screen. You will need to download the updater also.

My program needs msstdfmt.dll and dao360.dll.  They were removed by InnoScript because they are on the unsafe list, yet both of my PCs, XP and NT4, have those files on them.  I am attmpting to package this program with INNO, but do not know how to handle this.  I understand there is a source of redistributable files.  Would these files resolve my problem or is there another way?
