Run Time Error--New EXE

[john55]

Can anyone tell me why my Compiled EXE generates an error when executed from a CD or Zip drive.

Run time error '52'
Bad file name or number

Copy it back to hard drive and it works fine.

Help PLEASE. This is my first Executable and I'm really bummed right now.

If its important it's just a simple little image viewer Program (ImageBox, fileListBox, a couple of listboxes,command buttons and a timer)

thanks

Is it working when you copy the files back to anyone's PC or only the system where you have VB installed? Did you create an installation package to install the necessary VB runtime files when needed? Neil Konitzer, President
