I'm having a problem getting my VB6 app to install and run successfully in
Win2000. It works fine on Win98. I am using the same install setup in both
cases, using Installshield Express 3.03 (which uses the MSI installer).

On Win2000, I get 'method ~ of object ~ failed' which generally seems to
mean that a component is not present or not loading properly.

When i examine the Win2000 with a debugger I can see that it loads LZ32.DLL
then VERSION.DLL then MSVCRT.DLL then CLBCATQ.DLL before it then loads MSI
which is I guess where it tries to do a 'self mend' because a component is
missing?? Can I then assume that CLBCATQ.DLL is the culprit? I can't find
out what it does - the properties are not set to anything meaningful, except
that its by Microsoft.

When I run the same app on Win98, there is a big difference in the
components that get loaded. After VERSION.DLL comes RPCRT4.DLL then
COMCTL32.DLL the SHLWAPI.DLL then SHELL32.DLL.


Can anyone help? I havent't got very far with Installshield support.

Thanks

Andy Rigby
