How Dlls Created on VB work on a Network?

[lulo]

I have created Pointzero.dll but I don't want to distribute it with the setup program instead I want to put on the network application path to make it easy to maitain. But it doesn't seem to work.
I tried this but still won't work
regsvr32 I:\GlobalApps\ICA\PointZero.dll
I get error '430' after trying to run the application
"Class does not support automation or does not support expected interface"

Any comments are greatly appreciated.

Thank Lulo

You may need to use the server name instead of a drive letter. Try:

\\<server name>\<share name>\GlobalApps\ICA\PointZero.dll

to register it.

While the unc name would be better, that's not the issue. A 430 error means there's an incompatibility between the exe and dll - did you relink the exe after you created the dll file? Make sure you use binary compatibility mode on the dll so it won't break exe files that use it if you make changes to the dll code.

Thanks Artiechoke your suggestion works.

I know this has noting to do with an error 430.
Try the following if you don't feel like registering the
DLL on all the pc's.

See faq222-4724
