error 430 Class does not support automation

[KarloZ]

hello guys,

there is a program developed in visual basic. i reinstalled windows and installed that vb application again. this time i'm getting error 430 Class does not support automation which before was fine. i tried installing mdac 2.8, still didnt work. i dont have the code/project file so i couldn't change the project component version compatibility to binary compatibility. if this software worked before, is there any workaround on this problem? any suggestions are greatly appreciated....

thanks,
karloz

I'm guessing that other missing dll's would probably cause this error, but I get it anytime I forget to send dao360.dll along with the program. My understanding is that DAO is not a part of MDAC packages.

A 430 error means that the dll file the program is using either doesn't support some functionality or the interface has changed - most likely it's older or newer than the one the program needs.

Does it give you a clue to which dll file it's bombing out on?

i tried even installing visual studio, thinking it might copy/supply the needed dll files but to no success. and it doesnt give any clue to which dll file has the problem.

Add some debug code where you think the problem might be occurring and try to narrow down which component is returning the 430.
