setup project in VS 2003

[John]

Should I post this message here or is there a different group.

Thanks
----------------------------------------------------------------

I created a setup project in VS 2003 to deploy a windows application.
I'm able to run that installer in any windows xp m/c, when I try to install
the setip in a vista m/c, it goes all the way and hangs at the end.

I tried to create a small setup project in vs 2005 and I was able to run the
setup in vista machine.
So I'm wondering if there are any patch / fix for VS 2003 to run in vista?

Thanks for your help.

You can't run VS2003 on Vista, but you should be able to run an application
you created in VS2003 on Vista. At least, that's what I've heard.

Do you have .Net 1.1 installed on the Vista machine?

Can you please send any link if you have about this.



Yes I did install 1.1 on the vista machine.

Try running the installer with verbose logging turned on. It's:
msiexec /package MyMsi.msi /lv

That should at least point to the specific point causing the hang
