install package fails on XP SP2 w/o error

I have a VB6 installation package that was created with the package and
deployment wizard.  When I run it on the target machine (XP sp2), it starts
fine and then it starts to copy files, and it gets to a point where it just
terminates without error.

Anyone ever experience this, or have any ideas?  Also is there a
patch/update for Package and Deployment Wizard that I need for XP SP2?

Thanks, Alex

    It should work without patches, but it
depends on what you're installing. You
need to make sure that you're not trying
to install protected system files. If you need
to ship any of those, ship a Win98 version
so that setup won't try to install it on systems
with System File Protection.

   (If that's not the problem, I'd try running regmon
and filemon to see what the last thing was that
setup tried to do before quitting.)
