DAO351, PDW, and WinXP

Anyone know why with a VB6-SP5 compiled app using DAO351 and the PDW to
build a setup packag, when it is installed on a WindowsXP computer, when the
program starts, XP raises a dialog referencing a need to install DATA1.msi
from Office 2000? Parts of Office 2000 SP1 are installed on that computer?

Searching the MS site for data1.msi reveals lots of problems, but nothing as
to why it is needed on a VB program using DAO.

Problem is, if the program is started by a user w/o Admin permissions, the
attempt to install data1.msi (which is apparently the main installation
setup file for Office 2000 SP1) cannot be completed, and when canceled,
restarts the install attempt. One has to bring up the task manager and lean
on the terminate program key for the program started and the data1.msi
setup. Running the program from the Admin login goes through the same need
to run the data1.msi install package, but it does get installed - at least
for the Admin user. The only way to proceed for the regular user, even after
doing this under Admin, is to rant the user Admin privileges, start the
program and do the install, then remove the admin privileges.

PDW is whack!!! use a more powerful installer like InnoSetup
which is freeware at <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.innosetup.com." target="_blank">www.innosetup.com.</a> Easy to use, powerful,
freeware, and a very active community. I had problems like yours
in the past and they went away when I switched installers. Also,
you may not need to distibute all the files the PDW states. I have
an app that uses DAO3.51 that ive been distributing for years with no
problems on any Windows platform.
