Hello List,
I have an error that is giving me fits.  I have a package made using MS
development package wizard for XP and it has worked well for me for the
last year.  I redistributed and access runtime package (FE) that looks
at a SQL (BE) within a confined office complex for 5 revisions.  This
has worked fine, until now.  The process of putting a package together
on a server on the network and getting access to it from the users work
station appears to work fine.  We are running Office XP with SP3
installed on all machines.  We have a combination of windows 2000 and NT
workstations at the users desks. 
Here is the process I follow when installing on a users workstation. As
I run the install process it starts running, opens, looks for available
space, and on the NT workstations it then starts installing the Access
Runtime files and then the 6mb adp file.  On some of the 2000
workstations the install also runs with no trouble.  On some of the 2000
workstations I get the following error in a Visual Basic 6.0 Setup
Toolkit pop up dialog box:

"The Office System Pack cannot be installed in this system because it
requires Windows NT4.0 Service Pack 6 or later".

After this error the installation terminates and says unsuccessful.  Has
anyone seen this error before?  Any places to look on the development
machine for something that I might have changed that is causing this
problem?  As always any help is welcome.  Thank you all for your help
and or suggestions.

P.S. management won't spring for a different packaging software like
Sage.. I asked...
