Make MyApp.exe

I have VS 6.0 Enterprise using VB6.0. There are no errors or problems when I select Make myapp.exe or run the exe on my machine, however when I distribute it we get run time and OCX errors ect...

Some people are able to view the splash screen and the primary form, but when they try to open another form they get a runtime error (Win XP). Others recieve an OCX error when they try to run it and they do not get past the splash screen (Win98)

I wrote and compiled the application on Win XP Pro.

What am I doing wrong? There are no API calls, no Database, just a basic application.

Thank you,
Dave

Welcome to VBF!

When you want to install your app you will have to use the Package & Deployment wizard.

Welcome to the forums.

I assume you aren't just giving out the executable? You must create an installation package in order to get the correct supporting files onto the target machines. You can use the Package and Deployment wizard that comes for free with VB to do this.

Inno is a lot better than the P&D Wizard for deploying your apps :)

Welcome to the forums. :)

As has been previously suggested, this is more an application deployment question than a VB specific question.

If you are unfamiliar with how to package your application for deployment, you can check out Inno's web site, or if you wish to stick with the P&DW, there are tutorial's available on how to use that.

iacchus,

GOD NO!!!! You don't HAVE to use P&DW. Read Installation Problems in my signature.
