There is no guaranteed way if creating an installation package that will install on Windows 98, 2000 and XP. There are just to many differences between the them, some obvious, some a little more subtle.
The only thing you can do is to test the installation on each OS. See what errors are produced. Work out what is causing them then work out how to eliminate them.
Depending on the application you may end up having separate installation packaged for each OS.

The VB files will be the same but a few differences in how the compiler creates code and the ActiveX/COM+ components that reside within but differ from each OSes files themselves can make the difference you are looking for.
