Web Project will not run in Windows 98

Hi,

I am trying to run my web project install in virtual PC with a Windows 98 SE image. It never runs and I get a Windows pop up indicating a invalid page fault. In the release wizard, I specified that the install should work with Windows installer 1.1. I'm not what I'm doing wrong.

Ok before I was deploying a single exe file. I changed to a single msi file and it worked ... kind of. Now it seems to go from the welcome page to the finish page. It skips over the actualy install. It seems the NewDialog event in the welcome page is going to the Finish page instead what I requested: License page.

I figured out that the GetComputerNameEx API was failing on 98. At least when I commented it out, I got to the license page. Is GetComputerNameEx supported on 98? What could be causing this failure?

Looking at the winbase.h Platform SDK header, GetComputerNameExA/W are only available if _WIN32_WINNT is greater than or equal to 0x500. This would indicate the API was introduced with Windows 2000 and is unavailable on any earlier platform.

BTW I think that a web project makes sense on a machine that has IIS installed. And you don't want to run a web server on Windows 98.
