UnSpecified System Error Compiling

[StormbringerX]

Hi everyone,

VB6
SP6
WinXP

I've been hitting an UnSpecified System Error at the time the compile has completed and it has begun writing the .exe.

We have two development systems. One in our office, and one on site. If we make changes to any classes, bas, or forms at the site, we bring those changes back with us and include them in the Office Development system.

After a little research, I found that the problem seems to have something to do with bringing the changes back.

Does anyone know if VB stores the actual location of components. Meaning that if the tabctl32.ocx is located at one address on one computer, and at another address on the another computer, will VB look for the address that existed at the time of the actual creation? Does that make sense? I'm thinking that somehow, there MUST be some sort of difference in where it's looking for some type of specific information that VB needs to complete the compile.

Or I may be blowing smoke.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Dave

As an addendum:

I looked at one of my forms in text mode and here is an example line:

Object = "{BDC217C8-ED16-11CD-956C-0000C04E4C0A}#1.1#0"; "tabctl32.ocx"

However, when I do a regsitry search, I find the tabctl32.ocx listed as follows

Value Name: 1DA0663DF6CD8B14791C4DC93D6C77E9


Value Data: C?\WINDOWS\System32\tabctl32.ocx

Does this make any difference at all?

Check that both systems are up to the same service pack number. Current version is SP6 available here:

Finally figured out the problem. In case it's of interest to anyone, we are using Active Reports. One machine had an Active Reportsd Upgrade, the other did not. Once I upgraded the Active Reports, all System Hangs stopped.

Don't know why it would compile bbut hit an error writing the exe but this seems to have solved it.
