Last time this question was asked, I blamed Win95, which was wrong.
Pierre du Part corrected me, and here's what he said:

After stuffing around for the last four or five hours I can report
that the SETUPWIZARD VB4/16 (under Win95) works fine  for creating
install sets for WIN16 systems:

The VB4 SETUP  does NOT write the appropriate SWTMPL file into the
KITFILES directory. Consequently the SWDEPEND.INI file is NOT prepped
correctly. Additionally, MS neglected to include the SWDEPEND.TXT
files it refers to in the README help file. SO BE IT!!

Anyway, the cure is relatively simple. From the CDROM copy
\VB\SETUP\KITFILES\SW16TMPL.INI to the same directory on the hard
disk. Path names may need to be edited. If SWDEPEND.INI already
exists, delete it or at least remove the 16 bit references from it.
Thereafter all is well!

 Producing a 16 bit app
I currently running win 95 with VB4 I have created a program that runs
well on my machine but not on my friends who is running win 3.1

How can I get the disk creater make a 16 bit app or make the
installation disk my self.

Any help no matter how small will be greatfully excepted.
