Hi
i got the following error in setup created from vb6 PDW while running setup.exe and couldn't able to overcome please suggest me suitable solution
Error:- Cannot start main setup program! (CreateProcess() returned error code 0x000000C1H)

In describing the error, the article states, "During the setup process, the user is told that some files need to be undated and the system rebooted." I have never heard of a file needing to be undated. Perhaps this should be "updated"? If not, why would a file need to be undated?

I have encountered this bug or what I think is similar. I too develop on XP for all other Window Platforms. The problem occurs when IE6 files are updated over and Previous version and also when the MSVCRT Libraries are replaced. Version 7 is not able to be copied ove version 6 via the setup wizard caousing the infinite loop.

I experienced the very same issue but the development workstation was Win2k pro SP4 while creating an com dll. When I ran the setup file on a Win2k Server, the endless loop of updating files surfaced. However, about the 5th time I cancelled and the dll worked fine.

I haven't had this problem so far, but why not use the Visual Studio Installer instead? I find it a lot easier to use.

I develop in Win98 SE and got the same error while trying to install app on Windows NT (although I've installed SP6). I've try to find solution on Microsoft web site but could'nt find any thing. After long time "let it be", the package run smoothly without any modification. Any one know the cause and solution?
