Visual Basic Help

[Guest_imported]

I have developed a package in Visual Basic. On some machines while installing the package, i get the following errors.

1. "mfc42.dll" file is in use.

2. it says an older copy of "msvcrt.dll" file is already
present in the system.

3. "implode.dll" could not be found in the specified path.

4. error occurs while registering the file "crystl32.ocx"

Even with the above errors the package is installed but the following errors show up when reports (generated in crystal reports) are called.

1. can not initialise ole

2. cannot create DAO DBEngine

3. error opening the file "estimate_b" ( project table
name) at file location "estimate_b"

4. run time error 20534 error detected by database dll

While making setup you are missing some crucial files some where. Check all the dependancy properly.

For crystal32.ocx I also faced same problem. but surprisingly when i say igonre while installing my software it was completed like yours but it worked very fine.
So this indicates yr missing some files somewhere. Do include all the controls properly, also it my be required some time to include your reportfiles also into setup.

If you are installing software on win9x/NT u can try this command from command prompt

segsvr32 <dll file name> to register the dll file.

you can contact me on

What setup package are you using? The package & deployment wizard that comes with VB is OK, but for serious work you need to look at something like Wise Installer or InstallShield.
