installation / scrrun.dll / XP sp2

[jgillin]

Hi,
I have an issue related to installing a VB app (MSI installer). Recently, I upgraded to XP SP2. After upgrading, whenever I create an MSI and run that MSI on a machine that has XP SP1, there's a popup during installation that essentially reads "cannot overwrite scrrun.dll". I figure that this is due to the fact that the machine where it's being compiled is on Windows XP SP2, and has a newer version of scrrun.dll. Is there a way to essentially specify that this program is backward compatable with older versions of scrrun.dll?
Thanks for any thoughts on this.

Jeff

I found this page in another forum that suggests removing the reference to Microsoft Scripting Runtime (scrrun.dll):

http://www.experts-exchange.com/Programming/Programming_Languages/Visual_Basic/Q_21162987.html

however, when I do this, I can no longer compile it because it no longer recognizes the "Dictionary" type, when it comes across a declaration of any object that's in that library.

Does anyone know how to get around this?
thanks for any thoughts
