Problem installing program created in VB

I have created a program using VB6 with Access as well as SQL as the database. I have no problems installing it on a Windows 2000 platform. I used to have no problems installing on a Windows 98 platform. However, lately I kept getting the error message 'Cannot find the source file 'Path\\@Personal.rpt' to install. The installation stops and it uninstalls itself. I have checked the .cab files and the Personal.rpt is in one of the .cab files. Every time I make changes to the program and compile again, it gives me the same message but with a different file. It may be a .rpt/.dll/.ocx file.

This only happens when I am installing on a Windows 98 pc. I would appreciate it if someone out there can tell me the cause of this problem.

Hi,

All I can say double check your codes there maybe a bug that you haven't see it does not mean that I compile successfully it's already okey. It doesn't mean that it runs perfectly it won't have any problem next time you restart it remember even Windows...have it's own patches and new versions. Try to reprogram and use other means of checking errors. Hope this helps.

Lasting check for viruses.
There are so many possible scenarios.
Debug and double check.

Cheers,

Hi! Thanks for your reply. However, it is not due to any viruses or any bugs in the program. I managed to find out the answer last week from another user. It is due to the drive not being able to support long filenames. Thanks anyway.
