Visual C++ 6.0 setup won't run in XP / crashes with "Setup has encountered an error and needs to close" modname: appname: offset: blah blah blah
Thursday, April 26, 2007
steps to resolve this issue:
1) create a shortcut to the setup program on your desktop
2) right click the shortcut and select properties
3) goto the compatibility tab
4) select "run in compatibility mode for": "Windows 98 / Windows ME"
took me hours to figure this out so hopefully it will save somebody else from hours of frustration
