I am trying to run a setup.exe which was created in VB 6 on a machine running
Windows Server 2003 for Small Business Server Service Pack 1.  I get the
error that the operating system is not the correct version for the setup.exe.
What am I doing wrong?

What did you use to create the Setup program? I'm assuming that you mean you
used the Package and Deployment Wizard included with VB6, but you weren't at
all clear on that.

Sorry about that. Yes, I did.  I have used this same setup.exe on XP, 2000,
NT and everything is fine.
