Hey Guys,
Does anyone know what this means? I had someone compile my program for me (remember my program won't do it - tutorial) and when I got it back as an exe, I tried to run it and instead got box that (in the title bar) said
"Error Starting Program"
and the message was
"A Required .DLL file, MSVBVM60.DLL,was not found."
What i the heck is this, I thought that when the program was compiled, it would run on anyones machine.
any ideas?
the computer needs the Visual Basic runtime files..
with other words you have to ship that with your program or get your users to download it.
Microsoft download site.

Do you mean that it needs to be compiled in the program?
OK, I went to that site and downloaded and installed the runtime files and it works great (on my machine), but how is this going to affect the users that I intend to send it to (potential employers) they certainly will not have visual basic on their machines. can these files be incorporated into the program itself?
nope.. thats why I sometimes hate VB bigtime.. :(
you just have to ship the file with your program :(
but you could get the person who compiled it for you to make a setup so that the file would be installed on that computer. The person could use the setup prog that follows VB.

Hey Lumin,
your right that does suck. do you know how to do that?
and by the way, where are you from? I went to your web site (and couldn't read a word...........)
Hehehehe first of all im from Norway so you should have some dificulties to read it :) (im planning to make the site english but I haven't updated it for ages)
yes.. juts send me the project and i'll make a neat setup for you :)
-Lumin
I was close, I was thinking swedish, heh, heh. Should I send the already compiled one or the zip file that is not yet compiled.
Oh yeah - Thanks a million!
send me the not compiled one as the setup prog compiles the exe file.
-Lumin
I sent both already, figured I would let you pick which one you wanted, should be in your mailbox by now..... what time is it in Norway? It is 1:13 am here?
its 08:23 in the morning and i haven't sleept yet :)
and it looks like I have to wait untill tonight before im gona get some sleep.
P.S check your mail box.. there was a missing file.
-Lumin
Will do, do you know which one? Maybe I will rezip them and hopefully not miss one.......
Found it, it should be at your mailbox...........
Ok done making the setup :)
I will send you the setup and give me feedback if there is anything you would like to change.
you can check your email in about 2-3 min. if my mail server is in a good mood :)
-Lumin
looking forward to it, gonna go check my e-mail now.....
ok I hope you got the file
(if not check your e-mail)
Anyway I got to go offline now but just e-mail me with any changes and I'll upload a new version.

Are some install (setup) programs faster than others? When I e-mail this one, it takes about 8 to 10 minutes to send. Was hoping for something a bit faster, Not that I am complaining..... ;)
the reason the setup is so big is because it has the driver files needed to run the program.
just msvbvm60.dll takes about 1.1 mb.
and there are about 3 more that is ranging from 20 kb. to 200 kb.
so to get a small install program you need small drivers, but I don't think that is going to happend in the near future :( Microsoft tends to get "bigger" :)
-Lumin
that's kewl then, I will just wait for you to finish, and be happy with the one you are using.... :)
