Hi!

I have developed a VB program. It works well in XP (that is also the OS I used to develop that VB program). However, it does not work in my friend's PC, of which ME is installed.

How can I solve it? Is it because I chose Native Code when compiling he program?

Thanks.

What is the error that he is receiving? Does your code contain any calls to any dlls etc?

Are you using any API's? Cause there are a few API's that don't run on anything pre-XP...

Are you creating an install package? What install program are you using, and what dependencies does your app require?

In fact, I have included an additional control object called ImageMAKER ODCAXS Control. It is for the conversion of Word document to TIFF image.

then You must have to Register that OCX,
When you are Creating the Package Check is Package is Including that OCX.

Thanks kashif.

I have done it. And my program works fine in XP and Win2000. The question is: why it does not work in Win Me?

Again, are you using an install package?

Sorry Lebb, what is meant by an install package?

The control object that I call from VB can be viewed at:

An installer such as the Package & Deployment Wizard (included with VB) should be used to create an install package for your application, so as to be sure the target machine will have all the proper dependencies in place. Have a look at the FAQ thread at the top of this forum (Installation/Documentation) for more details and information about alternative installers if the P&DW isn't flexible enough for your needs.
