VB Forum / Deployment / October 2004I can't deploy VB6 to a W2k machine anymore. Why?
Hi. I've got an XP development machine. I'm deploying to a win2000 and it tells me system files are out of date and need to be updated and rebooted. Only, when I reboot I get the same message. This repeats over and over. When I had an NT I had no problem deploying apps to this machine. What do I need to do to deploy from an XP to a W2k machine. thanks. > Hi.

Compile your exe files there, too. And don't shirk testing - anything less is NOT support. Bob > Hi. I've got an XP development machine.

It's usually due to Windows File Protection (which Win2000/XP/ME have but no others versions of Windows do), but there can be other causes as well.
