VB6 P&D Settings: "Destination file in use ..."
I maintain an application written in VB6 and we are currently using the Package and Deployment wizard to create installations for our project. When most users try to install this software, they receive an error message:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\vbajet32.dll
The destination file in in-use. Please ensure that all other applications are closed.
Can anyone tell me if there is any specific way to avoid this by changing something in the setup / configuration files or by writing some kind of script? I have no experience writing packaging / deployment scripts, which is part of why we use the P&D wizard.

Perhaps your installer is trying to replace a dll (vbsjet32.dll) that is being used by another application.
They may be using Access (or another application) when trying to install and are already using the DLL.
You can work around it by making sure users close all open programs before installing, or you might have to write your own code to handle it.
