I'm trying to get a program i made to my girlfriend, and she keeps getting access violations on the following files:
mscomctl.ocx
msvcrt.dll
scrrun.dll
She's also having problems registering the following files:
msado25.tlb
msadox.dll
msiro.dll
Now I was thinking it could be a cross-platform problem. I'm running Windows XP, she's running Windows ME. Could this be the problem?
It shouldn't be a problem if you're using P & D or Inno Script. The installation should look for the files its trying to install and check to see which files are newer.
Why would she be getting access violations?
And now that I think of these registration problems, I happen to know that there's a command in Windows (regsvr if I'm not mistaken) that can help her manually register these files. I just can't remember offhand how it's used.
Start > Run and:
regsvr32 "My Computer/Blah Blah/TheDLL.dll"
to unregister
regsvr32 /u "My Computer/Blah Blah/TheDLL.dll"
I have a program that will do this programamatically if you like:afrog:
Here is a reg file that will allow you to register any dll or ocx on your system. Just run the reg file and right-click on any dll/ocx and select register or unregister. Not sure if it works, I haven't tried it, I use ActiveX Manager.
The other way to register any dll/ocx is to make a short-cut for regsvr32.exe and place it in your SendTo folder. Then just right-click on any dll/ocx and SendTo the name of the short-cut.
The file was downloaded of here.
Thanks. I'll give this to my gf and see if she can't register the files that way.Quote:

You really should first try to create an installation package.Quote:

This is how she's getting access violations. I made the install package with the P&D wizard.Quote:
