missing msvbvm60.dll every time I reboot, why?

:confused:
I wrote a program in VB6 and packaged it by using Microsoft's Package and Deployment Wizard - (so it contains all the DLLs)
After I installed my software on one computer with win98 (without VB6), it worked fine, but once I shut down my computer and tried to use the software again, I got an error message saying that msvbvm60.dll was missing. I know that I have it. I've installed vbrun60sp5.exe that has all the newest DLLs. The program works, but once I reboot, it stops working again. (I installed the program on other machines, and it worked fine)
Does anyone know what could cause this?

;) Thank you all for your help,
martin

ADDITIONAL INFO:
the msvbvm60.dll exists in c:\windows\system

I ran these two commands, they were both successful:
Regsvr32.exe /u msvbvm60.dll
Regsvr32.exe msvbvm60.dll
After running the above commands, the program still says that it's missing the DLL, even though the DLL is there.

check to make sure the dll exists in
windows/system
in your setting, set it to put the dll in this dir (by default it should be)

That's just the C++ god telling you to trash your VB compiler, and use C++.... :rolleyes:

those weren't C++ gods after all...

It took me some time, but I finally found out what caused the problem. The machine has Norton Virus installed:

Just in case someone else has the same problem:
disable this feature as follows:
start Norton AntiVirus
click Options. If a menu appears when you click Options, then click Norton AntiVirus. The Options for Norton AntiVirus dialog box appears.
click Script Blocking
uncheck "Enable Script Blocking (recommended)"
click OK

VB:p
