1. Where exactly do I get these different versions of Oleaut32.dll ?

Answer: part of this VB update i believe "This security update contains multiple operating-system-specific versions of the Oleaut32.dll file."

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

this should give you multiple versions in these locations
Windows Server 2003 VisualBasic_Installation_Folder\Wizards\PDWizard\R edist\WinServer2003
Windows Server 2003 SP1 VisualBasic_Installation_Folder\Wizards\PDWizard\R edist\WinServer2003SP1
Windows XP SP2 VisualBasic_Installation_Folder\Wizards\PDWizard\R edist\WinXPSP2
Windows 2000 VisualBasic_Installation_Folder\Wizards\PDWizard\R edist\Win2000
Windows NT 4.0 VisualBasic_Installation_Folder\Wizards\PDWizard\R edist\NT4
Windows NT 4.0 Terminal Server VisualBasic_Installation_Folder\Wizards\PDWizard\R edist\NT4TS


"During installation, the package or Setup program must detect the destination operating system. Additionally, the package or Setup program must select the correct copy of the Oleaut32.dll file to install"

The alternative would be to make a package for each OS.


2. Have you ever used the VB installer?

Answer: No! Perhaps the "Wizard" will "just do it" after you install the service pack?

P.S. I have installed the application "manually" by updating my system and unpacking the files, it seems to work fine, (not really given it a proper testing, just thrown a couple of LOC files to it).

P.P.S. Olde Wizards were awe inspiring creators of real magic. MS Wizards seem to be annoying idiots, assuming too much and messing things up.
