    Question Installing Using OLD OLEPRO32.dll

    Question:

    If I am installing my vb6 app on a Windows 2000 Server, and I deploy these files olepro32.dll (6/19/2003), oleaut32.dll (6/19/2003), and msv6vm60.dll (6/19/2003), and their dates are old, will this cause a problem with my application from running correctly?

    thanks

    Alex

    The best way to determine this is to install it on a test box, run it, and see what happens.

    I don't think they will cause any troubles at all - I haven't come across any issue in any post NT4 OSs.
    But as Hack said it's always a good idea to test.

    Re: Installing Using OLD OLEPRO32.dll

    ok, comments noted...thanks... Now, another question centered around this topic.

    I tried reinstalling the stdole2 component and the Wise installer said that the component was locked. How do I get around this one?

    Locked from with in the installation package, or locked as "in use" on the machine itself?

    I think it needs to be ignored. Don't install it if it's already present on the system.

    That is what brings up the original question. If I am upgrading my app which was originally compiled in vb5 then recompile in vb6. Do I need to reinstall these core components?

    Thanks

    That's the main key which you should've mentioned from the beginning.
    So, the answer is YES, YES and YES.

    Re: Installing Using OLD OLEPRO32.dll

    Typically during an installation you will get a message box indicating that [this file] with [this date/time stamp] is going to be replaced with [that file] with [that date/time stamp] and you will be asked if you wish to proceed.

    Is this happening?

    No it is not! I am using the Wise installer pro edition and you would think the default behavior of the installer would be to prompt you as you suggest but it just errors out and quits. I did some research and found out that I can force Wise to install "in use" files by applying a certain attribute in Wise. So I am trying that today and will let you know.

    anyone else have experience using Wise?
