    Problem installing and running my app

    I have an app I wrote that includes an activex ocx with 3 controls. I have been able to install and run this app on just about every computer it was installed on for several months now. Just starting last week, the installation started going into the endless cycle of updating and rebooting. Apparently this is a common problem with P&D wizard installation packages. So I installed MSVSI and the isntallation finished perfectly.

    But now, whenever people start the program, it just beeps and exits. I put a msgbox command on the first line of my main form's load event, and it is never being reached. How can I find some sort of log or something to see why it is quiting like that? Or is there any other reason that it might be doing that? Thanks

    I am not an expert at these things. I think some of your files were not registered properly or they are not installed to the proper location. Before I too faced the same problem when the project which used ADO did not execute the first line. I had only included the file I referenced and made it install to Windows' System folder. Later on I also added the Mdac_Typ file along with DCom98 (For Win 95/98) and made them to install in CommonFiles\System\ADO path. The program worked fine. So I suggest you experiment with such details. Also in one of the computers where I installed my software, the required files were not getting registered properly due to some Windows error. I could use the program in that computer though I could in others.
