thanx again
cheers,

Is this an edited script with removed items? Are you running with template processing?
You also have not included your database and any MDAC's (AutoOSUpdater).
On what OS did you attempt to install it on?
Was it a clean OS?
Please read Installation Problems for more assistance.
thanx for the feedback randem... which dlls listed there are the mdacs? its not an edited script... and i tried installin on 3 different pcs with XP (not clean)..
i read ur signature.. about the internet and reading.. and i did quite a lot of reading b4 i decided to post... pls help.. i really need this to work..
thanx
brian
EDIT: what does the autoOSupdater actualy do?
But did you read installation problems???? It should explain about MDAC's etc...
And yes, you do need to include everything that your app will need to run, including the .mdb file.
will read the installation problems now.. again.. maybe i missd something.
thanx again
The MDAC's are for Accessing Databases. You should always deploy them (can be selective) if you are deploying a database. The MDAC are a collection of dll/exe's that need to be in place for your app to run properly.
Go to the Add Files tab and include your database.
Also add in the AutoOSUpdater and you will be good to go!!!
What happened to the [Tasks] section?
oops.. forgot about the tasks... anyways i also wanted to ask you.. i realised i wasnt referencing the mdacs in my vb project either.. but the exe workd on my pc.. pls excuse my ignorance here but if u dnt reference it in ur project but its installd on the pc it will work rite? is it because i wasnt referencing it in the first place that it didnt work? btw... iv never seen such quick responses in a forum... awesome stuff. thanx a million.. will let u knw bout my progress.
You referenced the DAO object. That is included in the MDAC. It worked on your computer because everything is already in place. On the target computer it wasn't and you need to put it in place.
Ah... makes a lot of sense now.. about the DAO and MDAC... think i need to get some sleep.. its 4:40 in the morning here in cape town.. will package it now and test it later durin the day... cheers!
hi randem,
i did what u said... still get 429 error..
here is my script

wat am i missing or doin wrong?
Everything is fine. Are you sure you ran the OS Updater? It was checked wasn't it? Are you dynamically creating objects?
thanx for the reply randem.. wat do u mean by dynamicallly creating objects? im still a noob...
Do you use in your program...
Set something = New somethingelse
Does that third party control do that? One way to find out is to make a copy of your program and remove that control and any uses of it. Recompile and place that where your script can pick it up and retry an install. If it does not fail then that control is doing something like that. Or you can create a new project and only use that control then create an installation for that to see if it works.
hey randem, the only thing i can think of is a activex control im using for skinning my vb program.. it creates an xp look.. the projct is filled with these controls. like textboxes, command buttons etc... its called osenxpsuite2007... ill try remove it and c if it works. thanx. brian
Yes, that is the control I was referring too...
thanx ill try that... let u knw if it works or not
!!!!!!!!!! IT WORKS PERFECTLY !!!!!!!!!!!!
you were right again Randem.. it was that darn osenxpsuite that was causin all the trouble.. removed those controls and it works fine... doesnt look that great but at least it works
cudntve done it without ur help. thanx randem.
cheers
Great, Check to see if that control has a .dep file. It would list all the dependencies that it would need (hopefully).
