Error 429 ActiveX

[mans]

Hello,<br><br>I have packaged a VB6 application and after I install it on a new machine and attempt to run it, it come up with the “run-time error 429 ActiveX component can’t create object” message.&nbsp;&nbsp;This message has only begun to appear since I attached a form to the application which calls documents that were&nbsp;&nbsp;produced in Word (2000).&nbsp;&nbsp;The error does not occur on the development machine.&nbsp;&nbsp;Can somebody please let me know what I need to do to overcome this problem.<br><br>Thanks<br>

You must install DCOMM 95/98 in the destination machine prior to using certain active-x components. DCOMM is on your vb6 installation disk. <p>ciaran<br><a href=mailto:ciaranr@albany.jrc.net.au>ciaranr@albany.jrc.net.au</a><br><a href= > </a><br>

mans-<br><br>More generally, what is happening is one of the components in your project has a dependence on another component, which you haven't installed.&nbsp;&nbsp;Or maybe you installed it, but didn't register it.<br><br>There's no magic answer to this.&nbsp;&nbsp;What you have to do is look at every component (OCX, Active-X DLL, Active-X EXE, etc) used by your product, and track down what components they require.&nbsp;&nbsp;Repeat until you get down to a system-level component like COM itself, or the ADO/DAO librarys.&nbsp;&nbsp;Then make sure they're installed too (like, have your setup run the MDAC*.exe redistributable from Microsoft)<br><br>The one I always forget is the XARRAY32.OCX that comes with TrueDBGrid....<br><br>Chip H.<br>

mans,<br><br>I had the same problem with a program I was creating, check out the solution that fixed my problem maybe it will help you.<br><br>Leaf,<br><br>---------------------------<br><br>Solution Posted!<br><br>I figured out what part of my VB code was generating the error &quot;429&quot; -<br><br>Set fso = CreateObject(&quot;Scripting.FileSystemObject&quot<br><br>I searched my Windows 98 &quot;regedit&quot; for &quot;FileSystemObject&quot; and under CLSID there was an entry. I checked the DLL that was in the InProcServer32 entry &quot;SCRRUN.DLL&quot; and then I ran the Package and Deployment again for my project and attached this file to the install. When I installed the program on Windows 95 and on Windows NT. It worked with no problems.<br><br>Life only gets better!<br><br>rgds,<br><br>Leaf
