[RESOLVED] .dll is not registered correctly

[scottlafoy]

Hi all, I just finished creating my first full project and I am really proud it turned out great! It runs fine on the laptop I created it on, although I am having a little trouble when I try to install and run it on another machine. The installation process goes fine, but when I try to run the program I get an error that says " gif89a.dll in not registered correctly". I used the Inno program to bulid the setup file because I wanted it to be able to create a desktop icon. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can resolve this? I think this is a little over my head but I am willing to do some research and give it a try. Could this be as simple as including this file on the disk and adding some kind of code to the Inno builder? I am not familier with the code used in Inno but any ideas would be welcome.

Thank you all in advance.

Scott

Thread moved to Application Deployment forum, which is where questions about installing/distributing your software belong

with yours?

hai scottlafoy,
OOopss,
it seems the dll your distrubuting is just a 3rd party dll right? what i gave is for a vb runtime dll.

in one of my programs, i have two 3rd pary dll's and i am distributing them with this code. for exampel

Source: "D:\underdevelopment\xxxxx\distribusion\xxxx.dll"; DestDir: "{sys}";

these dlls i distribute no need to registe. just installing them to system folder. i have no any issues.

this seems to have worked perfect. The program works on every computer I try it on, even vista! I also included and autorun.ini on the cd. Thank you very much for your help!

#2 or 5# which helped

The second one,

Source: "D:\underdevelopment\xxxxx\distribusion\xxxx.dll"; DestDir: "{sys}";

putting the .dll file into the system directory is just what it needed.

Thanks again!
