VB6 applications run error on Vista
Hi
I have developed various applications with VB6, some useful applications that are used on a daily basis at the office to take the burden out of tedious tasks.
The applications were developed with VB6 with SP6 on Windows XP.
The new PC at the office comes with Vista and when running the applications error messages pops up.
The errors consist of:
Unhandled exception has occured in a componenet in your application
Exception from HRESULT: 0x800ACA72?
Cannot Start c:\program files\office\application.exe
Any help or assistance will be appreciated.
Thanx in advance
Ivan
Re: VB6 applications run error on Vista
You may have to provide more details, may even have to troubleshoot the app in IDE while on Vista. But to start with, you might consider looking over this forum's FAQ on Vista & VB compatibility to see if anything jumps out at you.
Re: VB6 applications run error on Vista
Lot's of things jump out there....
In what location did you install this app?
There seems to be an issue in the way you coded the app?
Do you hard code folders in your app?
etc...
Re: VB6 applications run error on Vista
We need more info about the error too other then "Unhandled exception" thats like saying "error".
Did you install your app using administrator permissions?

Also did you create an installation package for this app or just copy the files?
