mscomctl.ocx error msg?

[weisi]

I have compiled an .exe and tried to run in another computer. Then it prompts a msg, "Components 'MSCOMCTL.OCX' or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid" What seems to be a problem here? Please advice...

Have you created an installer package for your application ?

Nope, I just copied the .exe and the .mbd file. Will installing of MDAC.exe to the computer solve this problem?

MSCOMCTL is the windows common control. Make a setup package with P&D wizard, it should autometically include those files.
But remember, if you have created the installer in Win2000/XP, don't install it in Win98. To install your app in Win98, make another installer package from within Win98.
MSComcontrols have some compatibility issues between those OSs.

Actually I find P&D quite complicating to use. Mind if you can guide me along?

Run the P & D wizard and take all the defaults. Copy the package to the other computer and run Setup.exe.

The link I posted in post#2 is a tutorial on P&D Wizard.
