 VB restarts Win on setup

Can anyone tell me:-
Why The setup program that comes with VB6 would cause a computer to
restart after it has loaded the dlls. The computer just sits there until
I get it to run setup again and then it installs the rest of the files
and runs the program properly. This only happens the first time the
program is loaded onto a new computer. Maybe some dll are replaced or
updated and windows 95 thinks it should restart the computer.

That's exactly what is happening, Some DLL 's are out of date and need to be
updated which setup can do. You need to restart since some of these old
dll's may be in use. The second app you put on the machine should have that
problem.

Thanks James

How can you get Windows to run setup again from the cd after Windows  has
restarted?

(After loading the DLL's the computer restarts windows but doesn't continue the
setup.exe program unless the cd is put into the drive again (using autorun.inf)
or it is double clicked in Windows Explorer)
