Ok, losing lots of hair on this one. I have created my first vb.net app and would like to distribute it to my users. Problem is I used an active X web browser that requires the shdocvw.dll library. In doing this a wrapper library was created AxInterop.ShDocVw.dll. When I run the install on the users box or even my own there are no problems. After install, when I run the app I get a file not found exception. It cannot find AxInterop.ShDocVw.dll. Even though it is included in the build. Anyone run into a similar situation or know a work around?

Does the message indicate "AxInterop.ShDocVw.dll. or one of its dependencies is missing. You may need to ship additional COM DLLs and register them them on the target machine. Try running FUSLOGVW.exe (Assembly Binding Log Viewer) as you run your application. On my machine, it is in the c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio.Net\FrameworkSDK/Bin directory.

Good suggestion! I ran them both and the following is what I got.
Application Description
MEPrints.exe AXInterop.SHDocVw, Version=1.1.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null
I'm not sure what all that means other than it didn't bind. Any ideas?

I think you need to select that entry and press "View Log". I thought it displayed more commentary about "probing" and the result.

This is what I got from that. Pardon me for having you tell me what it all means. I'm pretty new to vb.net.

AxInterop.ShDocVw.dll should be installed the same directory as the MEPrints.exe. Is it there?
