Not a valid Win32 application error

[Paladyr]

I recently sent an installation package for a program that I wrote and also DCOM98. They have a Windows 98 machine and I told them to first run the DCOM98 file, then run the setup program. It installed fine but when he tries to run the application, get gets the win32 error. Any idea of what could be wrong?

I found and downloaded some Visual basic 6.0 runtime files, is that what I need??? Msvbvm50.exe and Vbrun60.exe are the files (Vbrun60.exe) being the visual basic runtime files. What is the other one?? Should I have them install this? Thanks!

Here are the files you need to run a vb6 executable

MSVBVM60.DLL
OLEAUT32.DLL
OLEPRO32.DLL
ASYCFILT.DLL
STDOLE2.TLB

In addition, you also need your program EXE file and all OCX or DLL files for the controls you use.
Also any database files or anything else your app needs

I used the Package and deployment wizard inside vb6.0 though, so shouldn't that have installed all the necessary components for installation? It said that a win98 machine would need DCOM98 installed to run the setup program so I had them run it first.

I read some webpage about how to install some special software (not sure what it was) but their solution was to boot into safe mode and install it. Can anyone confirm this as a fix? Thanks
