I'm not familiar with package manager but this sounds like some of your references are missing. In your project, make a note of all the references you've used, makeing a note of the actual dll's they refer to (it appears at the bottom of the window when you select the reference) and make sure those dlls exist and are registered on the system you're trying to run it on.

Welcome to VBForums

It sounds like your problem is just with installation.

One thing you may not realise is that MDAC (which includes OLE DB providers etc) should be installed, there is a link in my signature to the download - note that on Windows XP and Vista, it will be installed already.


On its own, that probably wont solve your issues.. what packaging tool are you using? (Package & Deployment Wizard?)

What version of Windows are you using (the computer with VB), and which version of Windows are you installing to?

Have you checked that the only things ticked in References/Components are the things you actually need? (you will not be able to untick ones that you need)
