[AccessD] Access Packaging (VB packaging)

I built an app on an NT platform for installation to a Win98 machine and
had some problems on the Win98 platform, but the whole project was so
hideous, I've put the details out of my mind.

Not first hand, but a buddy of mine had a similar problem, only..

The app was packaged on a 9X system and was installed on his NT4 
workstation. He basically lost use of his workstation until one of the 
guys in his shop created a small installer that all it did was 
replace the installed 9X DLLs with the correct NT4 DLLs

I have always read and been told that as long as you build on an NT 
based system (NT, 2K, XP) then you can deploy on 9x and NT based 
boxes.

I can't cite any references though.

So I really don't think that you need to worry about it too nuch.

Although if you are concerned, have a test 9x box to run your 
installs on after building them before releasing.
