service pack first being installed onto this
computer.please install the lastest service pack and
rerun this installation.
i have allready installed sp1.what can i do?
 
VB5 was out before XP. The installer detects you have a NT OS (WinNT, Win2k
and WinXP are all NT OS's) so it expects to find most likely NT SP5 or SP6.
So, I suggest coping the whole CD or Diskette to the hard drive, and run the
install or setup program in Compatibility Mode and select WinNT SP5.
 
and run the

WinNT SP5.
(not sure how to do this)compatibility mod
