PDW Requires Setup.exe

I am trying to use the PDW to deploy a VB executable from my development to
a machine with a bare install of Win2k. I start the wizard, select my
project and click on the "Package" button. From there I select the
"Standard Setup Package" and then create a directory to hold the package.
The next step pops up a dialog box titled "Missing Files" that lists
setup.exe as the only entry and doesn't allow me to proceede.

Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong here? Is there something I don't
have installed? This seems to happen for any project I try to run the
wizard for.

TIA
Ron Lounsbury

It sounds like some of the PDW files are missing (setup.exe, at least). Have a
look in the VB\PDWizard folder. The setup.exe and setup1.exe should be there,
amongst other things. If it's missing you'll need to retrieve it from your
installation CD.

Thanks for the response. I just checked the directory: "C:\Program
Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VB98\Wizards\PDWizard" and that directory does
contain both setup.exe and setup1.exe. Could it be that the PDW has somehow
lost the path to here?
