Strange Error 429 Message

[TokersBall_CDXX]

anyways
so I'm using the rich edit control from vbaccelerator.com
works beautifully for what I need

I use inno setup to install my package on other system
works fine acrossed the various ms os's

95, 98, ME, 2000
though on some versions of XP
they get an error 429 when the program tries to create new instance of the richedit control.

it's been driving me nuts as I cannot track this problem down.
there are no dependancies to the control, other than microsoft's richedit dll's which are always present (I've checked)

though I can't have a program that will not install on one of the most popular os's out there








any ideas?

I've never used the control. Maybe you could post a link to it?
There must be a) a file that isn't there, or more likely, b) a file that is newer, so that the file didn't get installed, which is incompatible with your control.

[Rogier]

And IN the error they aren't calling a file or something?

that's where the control is located

works great on my system and as I said on many others
how ever on some xp's it's giving me hell
can't seem to figure out as to why?

I put this control on a form called (frmChannel)

and from another form I do this

Dim newChannel as frmChannel
Set newChannel = New frmChannel

XP Pro or Home?

If XP Pro, the user may not have the proper permissions to access the Registry keys required by the ocx.

and naturally
this component requires SSubTmr.DLL component to be registered properly.

and this is taking place
as the my program (a chat client) installs, runs perfectly
until that line of code above
where a new instance of a form is created that contains the richedit control.

the error is error 429 that the active x component could not be created and it has the name of the rich edit control

I know that this forum may have rules against me doing this
but here is where you can download the program in question

(executable form only)

I don't download .exe's, sorry. It looks like you have two versions of the control, and the wrong one is registered.

interesting angle

how ever the installation script (by inno setup) I enabled that admin rights are required in order to install.

so these users are who have proper rights to alter what ever is needed.

and whether or not it's xp pro or home
I believe the problem occurs mostly on pro
how ever I say this problem only occurs 20% of the time
(all of them have been xp pro)

these users have never installed this program before.
and the inno installation has the flag IGNOREVERSION

which forces the installation script to install the latest control provided and register it.

(no errors during registration)

[dglienna]

Do they have SP2? I wonder if that could be the problem. It is particular about which ActiveX components get installed.

[TokersBall_CDXX]

yo know, that's a good question

okay, I was currently building this project on a windows 98 se installation

I've upgraded to windows 2000 advanced server...

I recompiled all of the controls under windows 2000 and then ran the program from ide


now I get the same error?
