Installation problems - Run-time error '430'

[Natalie]

I've created a simple VB app using ADO for another dept. The app allows the user to enter a zip code and the app tells them if that zip code is in a certain field. I created a setup file using the Package and Deployment Wizard.

The trouble is that it doesn't work on everyone's computer in the department. I've tried installing it on 5 computers so far. Every time I run the setup, I get the following error message: "Error while registering 'C:\windows\system\msado25.tlb'". I click 'ignore' and it says it installed successfully. So far, the app has run fine on 2 computers, but I get the following error on 3 other computers: Run-time error '430': Class does not support Automation or does not support expected interface."

Any ideas on why the app works on some computers but not others???

Thanks

Natalie, it would appear that you have 2 problems here. Firstly the msado25.tlb - try referencing AcitiveX Data Objects 2.6 library - removing any reference to earlier ADO libraries.

Secondly the 430 error is probably due to the fact that your app references one version of ADO but redistributes a different version of ADO.

you will probably need to install mdac 2.5 on the other machines as they may have vn 2.1
