DllRegisterServer Entry point was not found

[mik706]

I have written an app that uses an ActiveX.exe. when i built the file it generated a Dll.

I have no problems when i am using the file on the computer i created the app but when i package and distibrute the app it doesnt work. On closer investigation i have found that the application is unable to create the ActiveX object.

If i try to register the dll file manually i get the following error:

my.dll was loaded, but DllRegisterServer entry point was not found.

What could the error be?

Once i have manually registered the dll the app still doesnt work.

Have you set it to compile as Binary Compatability?

[mik706]

I have just tried to do that and got the error message:

Unable to set the version commpatable componant: my.dll

What file am I supposed to point the reference at?

Have you got them into a group. Eg both open on in same VB

Open one of the projects then click
file - add project and select the other

Compile as a group and try that

Ensure the referances now point to the project in VB
