Runtime Error 429

[MQTechie]

Hi,

Wasn't sure if I should've put this in the VB forum or this one so I've posted to both. But seeing as I'm a sys admin and this involces running an application which has been developed by a 3rd party I thought I'd ask here.

Problem is that I try to install a VB6 application and get "an error occurred while registering [filename.dll]" where the bit in brackets is an actual filename.

As a result, when the application is run, there is a runtime error 429, "activex can't create object".

This is working on another PC running NT4 Wks. Both are running SP6a.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

Have you checked the application vendors website ?
Is there an FAQ area ?
Have you reported this to the application vendor ?
Are they aware of any Active X anomally ?

this is s bespoke application written by one of our custoemrs to allow us to maipulate their data files which I have working on another NT workstation running sp6a. They know about the error but it's specific to a machine at our office and so is unlikely to be an issue in their code, especially as it works fine on another machine here.
