 Trouble creating Install Program for VB 6.0 SP3

I'm using the following VB:

Visual Basic 6.0 SP3

When I create an install program using the Package & Development
wizard, I get a message box with the following error when trying to
execute it:

"The file 'C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\msftqws.pwd\$(DLLSelfRegisterEx)' could not
be registered because it was not found."

After I select OK it uninstalls eveything.

If I hit CTRL-ALT-DEL and stop the install process while this message
is still up, the program runs fine but doesn't create a desktop icon.
Below is a copy of the SETUP.LST file.

What am I doing wrong? None of my other install programs are producing
this error.

Thanks, Ron

I suggest that these free open source setup programs be added to the FAQ.

-Inno setup : http://www.jrsoftware.org/isdl.htm

-GP Install : http://www.qsc.co.uk/

-GK setup : http://www.gkware.de/

Please stop using that crummy VB P & D. There is no better way to make sure
your applications are never used.

-John.

I have struggled with PDW and even tried MS Installer. PDW seems to
have the most problems and MS Installer is OK. I finally just broke
down and bought InstallShield Express which suits my needs perfectly.
