VB6 running under XP

The IDE works fine. Programs work fine.

The PDW Setup1 module, which you can modify for your own Setup programs, has
a fault in that in generates Setup.Lst files with LOCAL date and time,
rather than UTC date and time. This can cause a problem in XP if the program
being installed is in a different time zone than where it was written,
because XP uses UTC date and time internally, but converts to local time for
display.

Works great for me too here. And I've tried many different custom
installation options too.

Re: VB6 running under XP

Hi,

The install i create using the PDW always ask to reboot the system on XP.
How can i correct this problem? Can i just change the date in the setup.lst
file?

Thanks.

Changing the date won't affect the reboot problem. It's asking for a reboot
because one of the modules you are installing (DLL or OCX) conflicts with a
standard XP module.

It works in XP, however you do not have the background part of the screen
that you have in other OS. I have it installed on XP and that is the only
problem I have had. It seems to work fine.
