Not Responding

[ts2032]

Hello,

I have an messenger type application which sends files from one pc to another via the winsock control. I am using Windows Installer to install the application on the client machines. When receiving files, sometimes the application stops responding. This does not happen on the devolopment machine and only occurs sometimes on machines that do not have visual basic installed. I believe it is a registration issue but am unsure which component is incorrectly registered. The only controls on the forms are winsock,rtb, and pictureboxes.

any assitance is greatly appreciated

If you're not doing so already, I would suggest that use one of the installers (Package & Deployment Wizard, InstallShield, etc) to install the application on the client machines. Most of the time, these packages will handle the dependancies and registration issues for you. That's why such tools exist. Good Luck

Thanks for your input. I tried installing using package and Deployment, and Windows Installer.

I did notice, however, after sending several (8 or 9) files, that the development machine locked up also. The other machines lock up after sending only one or two files. I am using BinaryTransferControl.ocx to send and receive the files.

don't know, but I guess I will keep trying...

Thanks,
