unexpected error number 429 has occured.ActiveX component cant create object

You use an object in your application that you can create on your PC, but not to others. You know what object you use. See the object reference list and decide what to include in a setup order. This is done automatic by vb setup, but maybe you miss something if you use late binding of objects..so for that reason the list of references are not complete to what actually object live in your program.

Actually, the way the error reads, it sounds like it's finding the ActiveX control, but that it's possibly an outdated version that doesn't have all the features that djclipso is using. Just another example of DLL HELL. Djclipso, I've talked about this elsewhere, but this is why I've long since gone to the SxS method that uses .manifest files, thereby allowing me to distribute my ActiveX (.OCX) controls with the actual .EXE project. In fact, in my more recent projects, I stuff all my .OCX controls (and the .manifest file) into a .RES file. Then, the .EXE program unpacks the .manifest and .OCX files the first time it runs. This is nice in that the .EXE program requires absolutely no "installation". Just set it on a client machine in an appropriate folder (possibly on the network), and you're done with your installation. For years, Windows has been able to execute VB6 programs with absolutely no need for an "installation".

So is it the Package and deployment wizard that is throwing an error or is it when you try to install/run your program on another system?

If the PDW is throwing the error are you running it from inside the VB IDE or from the start menu shortcut?
If you are running it from the IDE try using the shortcut on the start menu instead.
If you are running an OS newer than XP try running from the start menu using the run as administrator option.

am using windows 7. And the error comes during packaging when I use package and deploy wuzard from start menu.
