application installation problem

[fireice]

I have developed a VB6 program and have problem installing the program on XP.

When it's installed by admin user, admin user can run the program successfully, but non-admin user is getting error messages that some ocx files or their dependencies are missing, where the files are physically on the machine! non-admin user can even delete these files or write to the folders!

Testing the installation on XP with NTFS, the problem is easily fixed by granting access to the application folder through Security tab in properties. However, XP with FAT32 doesn't have this tab. Could this be the cause of this problem?

Any suggestions how to make the program available to non-admin users?

Convert to NTFS which most XP users do anyway cos it's also more stable FAT.

Yes that is the cause. Take his advice, convert to NTFS.

Convert the File System. Why did you choose FAT32 anyway?
