Moved to the correct forum.

Aside from the question of why you're using VB6.0, Can you provide more information about the paths, versions of Windows, etc?

Look :Must specify all the required files first .... Skip the following steps
And especially the database file and DLL & Ocx



While it is best to use the program Setup Factory 8

i am using factory setup for making the setup the issue is that when i run my project setup installer on the same PC it works fine but when i work it on other machine setup installs successfully but when i play vb forms it gives error that this path does not exist .the problems occurs because my vb form submit the data from vb form to a access database and i have give the location of the database on that pc in which i had made my project so how can i make my project work also on other pcs .

I have give the location of the database on that pc in which i had made my project

This is big mistak
The Connection must be like : App.Path & "\DataBase Name.mdb"
don't use for example "c\MyFolder\DatabaseName.mdb"

I would install the access database to a known location, such as %My Documents%. Alternatively, you could have a small configuration file to store the location of the database and read in the connection string on startup.
