Just got a new laptop, lenova T61. I used to have ibm T41.
The old version of the .exe that I created in T41 can run in the T61.
I just created a newer version of an .exe in T61. When I install the new version into someone's T61 laptop, the .exe does not execute but it does execute in my T61 Laptop

I created the .exe with Visual Studio 6 and VB6.
Absolutely nothing happens, when I execute the .exe all I get is a "DING" sound

No errors are being raised at all. I checked task manager, the .exe doesn't even appear in the process list.

I created an install package and I also just created the .exe. Either method gave the same results.

I also checked the referenced .dlls

What is happening here?
 
Not sure what your exe does; have you installed a relevant version of MDAC on the fussy PCs?
