Run-Time Error 430 1

[BitCounter]

HELP!!!<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I created a project and whenever I install it...I get this message!&nbsp;&nbsp;I looked it up on Microsoft.com and their resolution is to Use Binary Compatibility.&nbsp;&nbsp;Unfortunately, I cannot find anywhere that I set any type of Compatibility whenever I am compiling.&nbsp;&nbsp;In fact, when I choose Compile program.exe...it simply compiles without asking me any options.&nbsp;&nbsp;Has anyone ever come across this error?&nbsp;&nbsp;I think it is due to the fact that I changed the name of my project, but even though I changed the name back and re-compiled, I still get this error when I try to install it on a machine.&nbsp;&nbsp;Any help would be greatly appreciated!<br><br>Renae

Check the project type. Binary compatibility is for activeX components. <p> <br><a href=mailto: > </a><br><a href=

I found where to set the compatibility..it is under the project properties.&nbsp;&nbsp;In my project, however, I cannot choose the compatitiblity types (all are grayed out).&nbsp;&nbsp;The default setting is -- no compatibility.&nbsp;&nbsp;So I cannot change that.&nbsp;&nbsp;Is it possible that since I have tried to install several versions of my program on this computer that I am having registry problems?&nbsp;&nbsp;My project type is Standard EXE.&nbsp;&nbsp;Oh..something that might also be important, my development machine is a Pentium Pro (Windows 98) whereas the test machine is a 486 (Windows 95)!&nbsp;&nbsp;Any help would be greatly appreciated!!&nbsp;&nbsp;I have absolutely no problems running this program on any machine that has VB installed.&nbsp;&nbsp;The error occurs when I install it on this 486 using the package created with the package and deployment wizard that shipped with VB 6.0&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I did also download and run the DCOM95.exe!

I think the problem might with some kind of activeX component. Check carefully while you build your setup package, to see if all dependency files and whatever the setup program might need are included. Also, i usually check mdac versions, (and use 2.1 on NT based systems). Another thing i usually do is to remove as far as possible all previous instalations relating to that particular application. Since it runs well on a machine that has vb6 installed, it's got to be something installed by vb6, that doesn't enter the setup package. Check also if activeX controls have all the files they need. Also remember that vb6 has a service pack (3), maybe that error is fixed by applying it. <p> <br><a href=mailto: > </a><br><a href=

Danny:&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;How do I know what all the files that my program needs are?&nbsp;&nbsp;I downloaded from Microsoft an executable called vbrun60sp.exe&nbsp;&nbsp;(it is supposed to include all of the necessary files for any VB6.0 application, it also handles the registry --it's really pretty neat)..even after this I still get the error.&nbsp;&nbsp;I guess I'll try downloading and applying the VB6.0 Service Pack 3 (the size [54 megs] intimidated me).&nbsp;&nbsp;Thanks for all your help, I'll post the results of downloading and applying the service pack!<br><br>Renae

Danny:<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;both machines are running original versions (development machine running 98) and test machine running 95.&nbsp;&nbsp;I'm going to try the service pack for VB6.0 and see if that makes a difference.&nbsp;&nbsp;Thanks.<br><br>Renae

BitCounter, did you resolve the error? I am having the same problem.

Thanks
