# 1 Re: Application not running on later version
Yes, you need to compile your application on a machine running Windows ME. An application compiled under ME will run under XP, but not vice-versa.
# 2 Re: Application not running on later version
It shouldn't matter where you compile your VB Classic (or .Net) app. VB Classic will run on any version of 32bit Windows (Win95 and up) as long as you have the proper runtimes.
Does your app give an error of some sort, or what happens when you try to run it?
# 3 Re: Application not running on later version
You need to provide a bit more information, such as any errors you may be encountering and what the application is doing when the errors occur.

Is that the *exact* error message? It doesn't seem correct and I'm not having any luck tracking it down. Could you copy and paste the error into your post or make sure you have entered it word for word.
Does this happen only during the installation of your application or during Windows ME startup?

The installer is probably attempting to copy a system file that is older than what is present on the target system system.
There are a couple of solutions to this problem. One is to build the setup program on a Windows ME system. The other is to uncheck the system files when building the setup program using the Package and Deployment Wizard. The system files are OLEAUT32.DLL, OLEPRO32.DLL, COMCAT.DLL, ASYCFILT.DLL and STDOLE2.TLB. This can also happen with shared controls such as TABCTL32.OCX if you happen to be using it.
