Deployment

[JL]

The first time I created a setup project for a VB.net project. I tried on my
development PC which is running XP with .net framework, it's fine. Then I
tried to install on a Win NT4 sp6 box with almost nothing else installed, it
doesn't work. Says: "Windows installer service could not be accessed." But I
check the services from control pannel, it's up and running.

So do I have to install framework first or is there anything else I haven't
setup properly. If I have to install framework first, is there a way around
it to build a deployment package can do that automatically for me?

Thanks a lot for any help.

Re: Deployment

Do you know what version of the installer service is running on the NT4 box?
